Apple’s brand recognition wasn’t anything special at the time. The iPod was essentially their first meaningful entry into consumer music. Compared with say Sony, they were nobody - a recently failing maker of outdated computers.
There’s a lot of anti work sentiment going around. For example, in threads about “what if I finish my sprint work early” at least half of commenters say “lie and pretend you didn’t finish so you can not work”.

You’re analogy only works if the activity is bad for your health but I’m not suggesting anything bad for health.
That's because games where you pay once get dropped so far down in downloads compared to "free" ones. I've had people tell me to my face "your ($1) game costs too much" while sipping their daily $5 latte.
I agree the fundamental issue is that the person "tasked with caring" or rather... Making the students feel heard, or just meeting expectations of feigning they care... does not actually care.

There's a possibility they do care and feel limited by the institution to communicating through platitudes, to not be too controversial... But it may also be true that there isn't a real sense of community to drive empathy and inspire more genuine outreach. When I think about culture at universities in the internet age, contrasted to those in, say, the 70s or much earlier, they seem to have less cohesion. I think it is harder to care with everyone living lives that are less local. Nowadays we isolate ourselves more from our immediate surroundings by all being better connected to the sprawling, nebulous, weakly-connected everything-else.
You can defend all sorts of things with that reasoning ... "humans are tribal by nature, so war is just natural"
I'm willing to bet that the wast majority of Angry Bird users (including myself) didn't have a payment method on file at the time of install, much less would agree to spend $10 on it.
>TSMC and Samsung have adapted to new generations without any real hiccups

Samsung has been having serious issues for years and TSMC is currently having serious issues with N3. Samsung's issues are too complicated and longstanding to go into but TSMC's issues are simpler and more recent. Their base N3 process (now called N3B) is a bit of a dud with apple being essentially the only major customer. The issue is with cost and yields, N3B just doesn't make economic sense for most customers. TSMC is aware of this and is racing to fix this. The fix is known as N3E which is an "enhanced" "version" of N3. The reason I put quotes around both of those words is because N3E actually has relatively little to do with N3B, there is no direct path to transition N3B chip designs to N3E, and because it features some improvements, but also some significant regressions in performance compared to N3B. The highest profile regression is the total lack of SRAM density improvements compared to N5. Sticking a huge chunk of SRAM on the chip has become very important to modern chip performance so this is a really big deal. The process is "enhanced" mostly in terms of economics, not performance, and it's coming an entire year after N3B. This has essentially delayed TSMC's "real" N3 node an entire year while also reducing its performance advantage over competitors. There's been a lot of discussions about the implications of this in the hardware space[1][2]

I stopped listening to audiobooks and podcasts at faster speeds because I found myself rushing when speaking.

It's like it recalibrated my set communicating speed, in a bad way.

I've switched back to 1x, which felt painfully slow at first, but it's helped me slow down and think more.

> This is an illusion ensured by the MMU (aside from security).

Even in places where DMA is fully warranted, IOMMU gets shoe-horned in. I don't think there's any running away from costs to be paid for security (not the least for power-efficiency reasons).

> It's seems to me that if companies drew a straight line between here's what you need to do to get this much of a raise or this much of a bonus, they could get alot more out of each employee.

If we could predict exactly what work needed to be done and how long it would take a theoretical employee to do it, this would be great.

But we can’t predict the work with such accuracy, nor can we predict how long it should take to get done. If we planned all of the year’s work in exact detail and underestimated by even 25%, you’d be working 10 hour days every day for a year. It’s not uncommon for projects to take twice as long as estimated, in which case you’d be working 80 hour weeks.

Another problem is that once you set specific numeric goals, people will game the hell out of them. I worked at a company that decided to reward people by the number of bug tickets they closed. Suddenly, the number of bug tickets tripled! People were starting to ship code with known bugs because they knew they could get some easy bug fix ticket closes to raise their numbers. It made outcomes worse even though everyone now knew exactly how to get bigger bonuses.

Finally, there’s more to reviews than just the things that can be measured through metrics. If someone is crushing their tickets and committing a lot of features but they’re insufferable to work with, they shouldn’t be rewarded for that. Good managers should have their finger on the pulse of these softer aspects of performance, even though it will never be a perfect assessment.
This is one of those annoying little problems that is easily picked up by the vet command (https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/vet) when writing Go code. There are, of course, many linters that do the same thing in C, but it's nice to have an authoritative one built in as part of the official Go toolchain, so everyone's code undergoes the same basic checks.
It's not immoral, any more than you bidding lower as a house buyer is immoral. Your individual circumstances as buyer and seller are different, and you need to make a free agreement that fits those. If you can't, you walk away. If you can, great. The same forces (and morality) applies to salaries.
Battery swap appears to make sense for scooters. Taiwan moves on scooters, and Gogoro is the e-scooter leader in Taiwan. So there is a success story for battery swapping. But it took many years for Gogoro to build up a swapping "vending machine" network and for customers to gain confidence in battery swapping.

OTOH almost everything - cost of batteries, no heavy lifting, unattended swap stations, etc. - is easier for scooters.
Every one of those parameters is associated with a field that does symmetry breaking. Every one of those fields has a particle associated. Every one of those particles has been observed, studied, and found to have properties in line with what would be required for the fields to have the values that we measure.

So yes, that's a lot of free parameters. But they are intrinsic to the theory. And we have considerable experimental evidence that they represent something real.

For those who don't know what symmetry breaking is, the Standard Model has a lot more symmetries than the observed universe. For example the theory does not specify that electromagnetism is long range while the strong nuclear force is short range. Or that the muon weighs more than the electron. But for each symmetry in the theory that we don't see in practice, there is a field that specifies the value of the observed asymmetry. Each field is carried by a particle. Each particle has properties that reflect the value of all of the fields. Every particle has been found and almost all have the predicted properties (to within measurement error).

The last particle found was the Higgs boson. The Higgs field determines the relative masses of different particles.

The "almost all" is the fact that the neutrino has 3 versions and oscillates between them in flight. Also the neutrino is not massless. While the Standard Theory can adapt to match this, this isn't what was originally predicted.
If they follow as you said and set this goal for everyone, then everyone (or at least a significant number of people) achieve it, then they can't reward everybody with promotions/bonuses, as they probably won't have the money to do so. Also, they can't decide what the goal will be for everyone, so some teams will have much easier/achievable goals, others won't, making things unbalanced.

It's a complicated problem and it's also more a social/relationship problem than really a technical problem. How people interpret what you've done is much more important than what you've actually don't.

Please don't try to come up with technical solutions for social problems, I see engineers trying to do this and failing all the time.
Very nice! If you want something similar but be able to extend it with your code in React & Node.js, give a try to https://wasp-lang.dev/ (disclaimer: I am the author).

This is cool! Whenever I see these kinds of apps though, I wonder where do you get the data? Is there a public API for all the grocery products in the US or something?
> my varying employers have periodically insisted that we "set goals" some time around the beginning of the year

That's because their boss (or their boss's boss or whoever) is telling them to "get it done"/do that.

Seems like a lot of effort for the typical 3% raise most people get more often than not lol

If you work at a place for 10 years, is it really realistic to expect to get a $10k/yr+ raise every year? Goals or no goals.
But compared to the brand recognition of Remote Solution? The Remote Solution Personal Jukebox beat iPod to the punch by 2 years on offering a high capacity 5GB portable MP3 player, but it was not some runaway success. Apple's brand recognition was far higher than Remote Solution, which certainly was a factor in helping iPod to succeed where Personal Jukebox did not. (Not the only factor, of course, but one factor.)

Apple's brand may not have been as good as Sony in the music space, but Apple was still a very well-known brand, even if they were struggling at the time.
Congress could turn around tomorrow and overrule it with new legislation

They could, but they won't. We currently have a divided Congress, and neither house will pass something that the other would be willing to tolerate. Even if both houses and the President were of the same party, it almost certainly wouldn't survive a filibuster in the Senate.

It's a political issue -- and all issues are political issues -- so Congress won't act in a way that one party could see as a loss for them. Congress hasn't passed a nontrivial law in years and they won't start with this.
I agree with the sentiment, but is Disney a good example? has Disney not recently had a pretty strong run of form critically and commercially?
I guess Inkbase? https://www.inkandswitch.com/inkbase/
I suppose it would feel like a dream when it actually works. I'd imagine it a lot like a car wash experience. The only thing that worries me is how the batteries are handled. Freighters are the worst and ding up everything. Imagine shipping 100s of batteries around the country? Sounds like a nightmare if they're not using specialized trucks or packing material.

Under the original copyright act of 1790 the last Calvin and hobbes would be entering the public domain at the end of this year. That seems about right to me.
Is it? Are open relationships that statistically significant?
I see that creator's right as existing if you never release your works to the public in the first place.

If you want to benefit from the temporary state-enforced monopoly on your works, you must submit to what the state/society determines are the fair conditions in exchange for said monopoly.
Standing in front of the TV to get your Mom's attention isn't copyright infringement.
Exactly. You can do things like swap out a small battery for a large one when you need one. Or an empty one for a full one if you are in a hurry. The whole process only takes a few minutes.

Not lugging around hundreds of kilos of batteries you don't need makes the car more efficient. Just swap in a big one when you need one. And you don't have to worry about battery life either as long as the battery is within specs, you are good to go. And if it isn't you just replace it and get another one.

Makes the car cheaper to buy but probably more expensive to use. And NIO gets to re-purpose the older batteries for things like grid storage without having to wait a few years for the cars to come back.
This is surprisingly powerful anti-marketing from Apple. I got some AirTags to keep track of our keys without realizing that AirTags can’t be shared within a family. I hoped they’d be useful to my wife, who sometimes forgets her purse, but she absolutely hates them as they’re always giving her warnings. I loaned my car to my sister and now she and her husband are off the list of potential customers, too. I get the stalking concerns, but I’m surprised that the solution was to make the product completely unusable for anyone but single people.

How is that statement "value neutral"?

It’s a really neat visualization, but you can’t take the data to mean much. It’s only showing the price of store brand eggs at Wal-mart, and each store/region would have a pricing strategy that accounts for a ton of factors beyond supply cost (with or without regulation).

To know if eggs in general are more or less expensive in any region, or if people spend more/less on them, etc you’d need much more sophisticated data than one might compile for a hobby project like this.
I really, really wish everyone would stop abusing the word "free" in that way. "Free" means "without cost", but money is only one form of cost -- so not charging money does not automatically make the game "free".
It's communication, essentially, and humans absolutely suck at communication.

No one is on the same page about it. The purpose of annual reviews is unclear, misunderstood, and misinterpreted, leading to a broken implementation in practice.

Even when there is an attempt at clarity, emotional kneejerks interfere anyway. ex: Telling someone that they "Meet Expectations" when those expectations are very high just results in them feeling like you've called them "average" somehow, and people outside that process are absolutely going to misinterpret it as "Average" leading to a continuing failure to get somewhere constructive.

Most of the time, there aren't great ways to be usefully objective about performance, anyway, due to missing context.
It is for Walmarts only per the info page. There must be a way to scrape that from their online grocery shopping website even without an api.

Do you also find this circular reasoning: “You can’t get paid SF rates for a haircut when your barbershop is in Nebraska because people will find a cheaper option and people getting haircuts in Nebraska won’t pay SF rates because they are not in SF”?
You bring knives to short marked managed trail hikes because you want to LARP or are just that stupid, not because there is any expectation of using it.

The only time I bother to bring a knife is if I'm doing multi day backpacking in bear country. Of course I have bear spray and bells and everything else you should have to deter a bear in the first place, but the last resort option feels nice to have.
Shiny object syndrome is universal
I use a mid 2014 MacBook pro. I spend my days in vscode, a terminal and safari. So far it's still going strong. It's sometimes laggy, of course, and the battery life is really bad, but in general it's still a machine that can be worked with.
> in NYC anyway

True in Wyoming and the Bay Area, too. Produce and fish aren’t as fresh as competitors. It’s cheaper. But not premium.
One of the economies of battery scale is durability, no? What you gain in cost savings up front you lose by needing to replace the batteries more frequently than N times the larger battery pack size.
I think I would pay at least $5-10k more for a ground source heat pump on a house. The energy cost savings are insane. I think I would even prefer that over a solar installation.
An iPhone 14 (with SOS Sat Comm) would have been much cheaper
> But at the same time, I think they honestly do contribute more to artistry and enduring culture in the West than lots of other companies with even-worse legal departments do.

Counterpoint: they saturate the market with so many MCU, Star Wars and other high-profile (Avatar!) content that it is all but impossible for anyone else to get enough people into cinemas or onto streaming.

Like, people only have so much money and time to set aside for entertainment, cinema is one hell of an expense as it is [1] and now, when alone the MCU pumps out four movies a year, there is no budget left for anyone but them. Streaming? The same. There's an insane amount of high quality content on Disney+, and they got all the "cool and popular" stuff.

On top of that, Disney's treatment of, say, VFX studios is fucking up the market there as well: the more market share Disney has on the client side, the less choice studios and other suppliers have. Either they accept the sometimes disgusting behavior from Disney (especially ridiculous deadlines) or they don't have other clients and shut down.

Between the Mouse just gobbling up everything they can, Netflix pushing for a washed-down uniform standard [2] and small cinemas closing down left and right, entertainment is in for dark, dark times. Disney needs to be broken up and since the movie industry didn't get the hint from the music industry that rightsholders should take care of offering access to multiple streaming services, government has to mandate that as well. The lack of competition hurts everyone.

Ah, by cloud independence i mean we can easily switch where the machines with gpus come up, not the whole stack. We might give up on this flexibility but so far it seems like it will save us a ton of cash.
Beyond that scenario, the principal that I come at this from is that I, as a creator, rightfully recognize and defend my own rights to the things that I pour a significant portion of myself and life into

Does data deserve special rights in the first place? If I make a table and sell it I don't get to control whether the buyer sells it to someone else or lets someone else look at it and make their own identical table. Same for, say, a biscuit recipe. You might say there's a qualitative difference between those things and, for example, a book or a movie, but that difference only exists because we can't communicate our memories to each other. What if we could? I don't think what is morally right or wrong should depend on a technological inconvenience.
Whoof, oops, thanks. I'd been using CCD and IOD as terms until this post, but had a "omgosh, I've been doing it wrong" panic & changed into what we have here. My mistake. Thank you for correcting us back!!

bash (and other shells), coreutils, pipes, git, text/cli utilities etc. work just fine on WSL, I'd call them Linux tools. My in-shell workflow consists of using mainly those + VSCode (with the WSL plugin) + ssh'ing somewhere now and then, and it's entirely sufficient for this purpose. I haven't tried running typical webserver/db services on it though.
California has a new law about humane conditions for chickens that has closed many egg producers.
I don't think that's true. Leaving aside that feral cats will just re-extinct the species, whatever other species has filled it's niches is very unlikely to be as good as that as the original.
GOD NO, I have seen this in India where someone from a so-called low caste only has to get 50% in exams to become a doctor whilst other castes have to get 70% or higher. It creates a system where merit goes and instead you get stupid people into high roles.

Anyone should get a role if they get the right scores, not because of their surname
Hypothetical "dark matter" doesn't interact with ordinary matter, except gravitationally. Neutrinos do interact with ordinary matter; otherwise we wouldn't be able to build neutrino detectors. Therefore neutrinos are not an example of dark matter.
They are, because they have mass and don't interact electromagnetically. They are just not cold dark matter, because their mass is so low they behave more like radiation than matter, i.e. the scale as a^4 instead of a^3, where a is the scale factor. A sterile neutrino, if it existed, could still be a dark matter candidate.

I think most line managers are sick of those processes. I had a manager once who explained to our team of 3 people how he had to fit us in a bell curve of performance and tie our bonuses and promotions to that.

Suffice it to say he started saying he was sorry but despite his efforts he could not convince the higher ups how stupid an idea that was.
Naive as I am (& not living in the US), I've always thought these supermarket chains have uniform pricing and that's one reason why they're so popular.
>It's depressing that there's no longer a market for paid, high quality, ad-free, fully packaged apps and games.

I can't tell you how crazy it is on Android, to find a killer app that does something that's exactly what I'm looking for and to see perhaps it has or is a paid version, usually for just a few bucks, and I to go-to the store page and see some ridiculously small number under downloads.
People will put up with a lot of cruft for free. Even worse in terms of apps and games is that younger people I know don't bat an eye at most it whether it be ads or IAPs. A younger guy I talk tech with will happily pay to win in games he plays, or expensive cosmetics, and he doesn't consider it at all. It's just how things are and he enjoys it. Sometimes I tactfully ask, where is the game if you just buy X or Y? And I don't think he quite gets what I'm hinting at and he's one of the most tech savvy zoomers I know.
Exactly, every single time, the goals (in our company they are called Bold goals) are irrelevant after a quarter. The only time it mattered was in a company and that too for only 6 months, where we had monthly SMART goals. At the end of 6 months the whole process was scrapped :)
