Not that I'm aware, but there are modified GR theories. In classical GR, the equations can be derived by applying the principle of least action with the Ricci scalar R being the Langrangian. People are studying what happens if you assume the Lagrangian is a function of R, like R^n or so. It doesn't have the same stigma as MoND, but it's also not that popular. It's also very hard to test for.

That iPad 2 probably pre-dates Windows 8, and Google went and dropped support for Windows 8 just last month. Plus the OS wouldn't have gotten security updates. Here's a serious question: what good is a web-browsing device that you wouldn't trust to log in to anything on?

> This is the second time I read this sentence in this thread, it sounds like a cult.

It's a fairly popular meme in Apple-developer circles that Apple prioritizes itself first, users second, and developers third. This priority list tends to crop up often when complaining about Apple's developer tools and/or (lack of) documentation. It's something one tends to hear alongside complaints like "I like Swift the language, but the compiler crashes all the frigging time" on the Apple-developer podcasts I listen to.

> But PWA-specific features weren't high on the list

You see, the goalposts on what "PWA-specific features" are are moved all the time. Because everyone selects their own set of features to wave about as "the one true support for PWAs".

Meanwhile Android has 70% of marketshare in the world, and none of the imagined PWA restrictions. And we've yet to see a single amazing PWA there that Apple is purportedly stopping from happening on iOS.
Terrible, horrible idea.

The main benefit of our current system is that it's very equitable. I'm the furthest thing from an SJW, but I do believe that in essence, the current way we interview helps people at the lower rungs of the ladder. People with no CS background can learn and if they pass the test, they can work at a FAANG. There's no guild, there's no politics, there's just performance on a well-defined measure.

It's not the greatest system, but it's also extremely fair and gives a shot to people who wouldn't normally get a shot.

The story (of Betamax) is a bit more complicated than that, the main reason of why it failed is that Sony did not understand the market where it was selling.

Also, the thing about Betamax having superior quality is a bit overblown, while Betamax at speed 1 (or A, I don't remember what it was called) DID have better quality, nobody used it! (and Sony discontinued quite quickly, favouring speed 2 and 3) since the recording time was so low.

(also the professional Betamax format is a completely different beast from the consumer one, at some point it switched to being digital)

> What’s more, the officers had good reason to believe they had probable cause. Both the City’s Law Director and the judges who issued the warrants agreed with them. Reassurance from no fewer than three other officials further supports finding that the officers “reasonably,” even if “mistakenly,” concluded that probable cause existed. Wesby, 138 S. Ct. at 591 (cleaned up). That’s enough to shield Riley and Connor [the cops who arrested him] from liability.

The reason qualified immunity is such a huge problem is that it's even harder to sue departments. There's a bunch of weird rulings that have the result that in America people who's rights are violated tend to need to sue individuals, who are then defended by the government.

I can't.

He has an intense irrational hatred towards Apple. But during all the years of him working at Google he never ever accepted any criticism towards Chrome and Google. The moment he went to work for Edge, he wrote a piece that leveled some criticism at Chrome but then kept on bashing Apple, and only Apple.

Imagine writing "Apple gutted Mozilla's chances" (https://infrequently.org/2022/06/apple-is-not-defending-brow... when it's well known that Google was first and foremost who gutted them (https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1116871231792455686.html)

Citation needed. Explain how calmain “mostly owns” the US egg industry. According to the usda there are on the order of 325m laying hens in the us. calmain says they had about 45m laying hens last year. Please explain how that is the majority. Looking at egg producer stats calmain is the largest, but there are MANY commercial producers in the millions of hens range.

Furthermore usda says “As a result of recurrent outbreaks, U.S. egg inventories were 29 percent lower in the final week of December 2022 than at the beginning of the year. By the end of December, more than 43 million egg-laying hens were lost to the disease itself or to depopulation since the outbreak began in February 2022.”

So there’s a ~15% reduction capacity and shell egg stocks are down 30%. And egg profits have also been down the last few years. But no, it’s OBVIOUSLY that monopolist who controls an entire 15% of production that’s driving prices up. Or maybe the source blog post fails to provide citations, makes inaccurate and emotional arguments, and just kind of hopes that prices are set at COGS.

First, Thanks for sharing - there might be a few interesting applications in my (non competitive to you) world I wouldn't have considered for the sheer amount of work to begin with.

My experience with B2B on prem has been that maintaining first class on-prem support will have an outsized growth vector for you. The cloud after all is someone else's computer under the control and ownership of someone else, and that won't work for everyone. It's easier to do from the start than to try to shim in. If you really want it to be an unfair advantage and moat, being present as a first class verified citizen in the marketplaces of multiple clouds is good too for those groups who might want it.

For example, being ready to roll (and license for enterprise) int he Microsoft Marketplace is a bit of a superpower, because they already have a good chunk of the Fortune 500 already as customers, so you don't have to go get them and be close to being a one click install where an on-prem m365 environment might allow things from Azure directly or indirectly.

The harder part is making sure enough of the useful and even valuable bits aren't locked away from the spirit of open-source, or critical ones committed moving forward. It's hard but the hope is the magic of creating beginners for your platform remains the chief priority for growth and adoption for your system - people readily available and skilled in it.

One nice way to do this is to perhaps consider some creative licensing around headcount of an organization, sector, or yearly revenues. Appgyver had an interesting approach to this prior to being acquired by SAP and seem to have been able to maintain it.

> the low distribution isn't distributed across every VC portfolio, its across ALL VCs. which means that for MOST VC's, it is absolutely a "no deal", so far.

Again, that's expected, given there's few women founding startups and seeking VC. Of course, for each individual woman it'll feel different because they are a woman and have founded a startup and want VC funding and might not get it. But that's not different from how men experience it. Most of those don't get funding either, but if you only look at those who do get it and say "see, those are more", you (willfully) ignore all those who don't. You're comparing "men who successfully raised VC" to "all women who tried raising VC".
Part of that is that we're being misled by this whole 'impersonated a police officer' spin. He didn't pull the trucks over and say, "I'm a cop! You're under arrest." Rather, he claimed (and presumably believed) that he possessed, as a highway engineer, the authority to detain trucks that were violating a statute.

Consider, in carrying out his official dutues, he has some degree of discretion in doing so. For example, some engineers might decide the best tool for their job that day is a slide rule. Others might decide on a given day to use an autoleveling level. And some, particularly Mr. Large, might decide on exercising the "detain trucks that are interfering with road work" provision. It turned out there was no such provision, and Large's job didn't have the authority to detain vehicles. But the absence of a statute specifically forbidding state employees (other than police officers) to detain trucks meant that he was entitled to qualified immunity.

Keep in mind that QI doesn't mean that the injured party isn't entitled to damages at all, it just means they have to sue the state and not individual officers/officials. Of course, suing the state has its own hurdles. Some government bodies have very short statutes of limitations for filing lawsuits against them, and they must receive advance notice before the claim can even commence. And the claim might need to be filed in a special court. And the state may be protected from liability if it had no advance knowledge of a condition, or by a statute limiting the amount of damages.

No matter what problem you have, you will always be met with the "just do this, it works for me". Eating disorder? Just eat. Can't sleep? Just do some running one hour before bedtime.

Sorry, but you don't properly learn any math topic in 80 hours. I've spent more than 10 hours on some problem sets in difficult courses. Solving hard problems takes a lot of time and is absolutely essential to learn math. When you read a book or a script you feel as if you have grasped the content, but most of the time you really haven't. It's only when you attack problems from different angles that you really build intuition for the concepts taught in that book.
That's nice for you that your 20 minute poop breaks are enough time to charge your car.

On the other hand, every time I have traveled by car between the bay area and LA (~400 miles, 5-6 hours one way) , I/we never* made any stops longer than 10 minutes.

*I say never, but there have actually been a couple times when I set out not well rested and on the return leg I needed to stop in the middle somewhere to catch some shut eye. But the vast majority of trips are on the road the entire time except one stop for 5 minutes to fill gas and empty bladder.
I hope so - I've had chronic insomnia my whole life (and a fair mix of night terrors and sleep walking when younger). Without melatonin supplements I would not have any kind of regular sleep schedule at all. Although on the bright side, screens don't make it any worse.

There are still plenty of useful things you can do without logging in. But my counter question would rather be: why don't Apple let people write alternative OSes for its hardware then? You can install an up-to-date Linux distribution on computers from the 90s. The iPad is a popular product, I'm sure there would be enough people interested in building a Linux-based OS for it.

The problem is that perfectly good hardware is just getting disposed of instead. An heresy, from an environmental standpoint.
