I remember a story about a car that consistently refused to start after a family went to the store to buy vanilla ice cream but it worked fine when they bought chocolate ice cream. (My apologies for any inaccuracies in my recollection of it).
They had a manufacturer engineer verify it happened even.

Turned out to be an overheating issue. The chocolate ice cream was at the back of the store while the vanilla ice cream was at the front, effectively changing how much time the car had to cool down properly before attempting to start it again.

There's a company (Matias?) that makes one-handed keyboards. When I bought one on a lark, 20 years ago, it was maybe $80. I checked back years later and they were $600, and had all sorts of marketing materials about disability accommodations qualification. My guess is that they realized that there was a way to get their product purchased by HR departments, and that such purchasers would be very cost-insensitive. So they 7x'd their price.
I'll second this. I was really hoping there'd be a link at the end of the post.

Yes. We're tool using primates, that quip about having only a hammer and seeing only nails is really descriptive of the human condition. There's an excellent radio-lab episode which argues that cultures don't develop a word for the color blue until they can make blue dye (and the implication is that they don't even perceive it before that).

Abstractions like "value" or "property" arose organically, and if we didn't have this fixation on tools they'd likely have changed organically... But we made tools for working with those abstractions and now we live in a world shaped by those tools and it has created a sort of inertia for the old way if doing things.

It's kind of like how all of the spellings stopped changing when the printing press was invented, so now we have wacky spellings like "through" that we would've moved on from had that not happened at that particular time (see: "the great vowel shift")

The historical circumstance around the creation of the printing press is what gave us our notion of intellectual property to begin with, and I think it'll remain more or less unchanged until some other technology forces it to change.

It's incredibly difficult to visualize a different way in our current setting, and it's especially difficult to get paid to work towards it, but I think that pretty much any change is possible given some MVP toolset that makes it doable and some critical mass of people willing to give it a try.

> if they increase spending, you get more inflation, and then they have to eventually pay higher rates on their own debt

You can spend in a dis-inflationary manner: increasing production capacity, facilitating resource extraction, and generally anything that helps on the supply side of things.

But absolutely, given the current Administration and the Democrat agenda, this is anathema. If anything they would rather spend to destroy supply as much as possible, since this is generally what the SDG, DIE, and Green agendas consider "success".

A great example is the Inflation Reduction Act. The "green" portions were estimated to cost $390 BB initially, but are now estimated to cost $1045 BB (yes, over a trillion dollars), and this number will almost certain go up[1].

Not a penny of it goes to anything that would increase supply of what you'll need for the "green" infrastructure, it's all pure demand, the bulk of it EV incentives. You would have trouble coming up with a more inflationary plan if you tried.

Yeah it's alarmist, but I believe exponential growth in climate change could occur very soon due to feedbacks. Here's the reasoning:

https://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2023/02/dire-situation-gets...

Only thing I disagree with on that blog is that the feedbacks will happen over a longer timeline. But 2026 is the tipping point year where climate change starts accelerating so fast it won't be able to be stopped. Then over the next 5-10 years things like "Clouds Tipping Point" (https://arctic-news.blogspot.com/p/clouds-feedback.html) will be reached. So 2026 is the beginning of the end of human civilization IMO. Of course some people may live underground, in the ocean or other places, but billions of people will die within 10 years following the 2026 tipping point. Billions is the low estimate, more like 99.999999% of humans.
There are many, many small forums where people can air the most controversial opinions--I don't disagree. But the fact that there is one MASSIVE one in the public consciousness means that people aren't automatically filtered into these mass, heavily monitored and controlled forums like reddit, facebook, instagram, etc. but instead can easily find a place where nobodies opinion, voice, or resistance to what is considered polite and "acceptable," and speak there.

In the old days what you're saying is true, but we're not in the old days, we're in the days where everyone uses the internet and the internet is vastly profitable. Where corporations, the state, the news-media, relentlessly seek to manipulate public opinion to their own aims. In all that, something as remarkable as the continued existence of 4chan stands directly opposed to power and everything in society that seeks to regulate and control behavior and discourse.

There is a valuable lesson here from WWII. Even the winners lose. It is remarkable to look back and see how the Germans lost the war, had their state destroyed and still managed to take out the British Empire. If the British had lost WWII, they'd have ended suddenly and ignominiously. Being on the winning side, they've faced a relatively graceful decline into an international non-entity over 70 years. But at the end of the day their power was broken.

There are lessons here for the Americans - the US may reasonably expect to win any war it gets in to with Russia and China, but if it actually ends up fighting it could still end up shattered. There are no real winners if a fight escalates.

> Hollywood's practices have expressly failed to maximise the amount of money they earn - at all levels they earn less than people who went in to non-union fields. It does not follow that we need to copy their practices. Indeed, this is superficial evidence that their labour practices are failing. What law of gods or man exists to say that actors should be paid less than a Red Hat software engineer? They get paid badly because of how their industry is designed, unions and all.

You keep conveniently ignoring the simple fact that actors were worse off prior to unionization. No amount of rambling is going to change that; unionization improved their wages. I will not be responding further because it's increasingly obvious that you are not willing to actually entertain fact-based apples-to-apples comparisons and, frankly, you seem unable to differentiate your beliefs from facts.

The orbits are designed in such a way that the satellites are uniformly spread across the earth, with each part of the earth having at least one sat covering it at all times. That's the easy part: just launch enough satellites for your orbit altitude.

The tricky part is ensuring sufficient bandwidth. You either have to launch additional satellites so that there are 1/2/3/4 sats above every location at the same time, or increase the per-sat bandwidth. The former is probably a good idea anyways for redundancy, but costs a lot of money.

Increasing the bandwidth per sat is reasonably easy. They use phased antenna arrays to send a highly directional signal back to earth, which reduces congestion between different areas covered by the same sat at the same time. The limiting factor is probably the downlink back to earth via a ground station - there is only so much data you can reliably pump through a single connection. Their initial set had a 20Gbit downlink[0], but their newest ones can do 4x as much[1]. This bandwidth has to be shared by all people covered by the same sat.

So yeah, launch more sats and upgrade the downlink as required.

Wow, those would probably have major negative consequences for the economy.
Hard disagree.

The reason to give almost anyone working a tech job a green card quickly is so they don't depress the market wage by being indentured serfs.

The absolute worst thing the US could do to the Indian IT sweatshops is to give a "tech worker" a guaranteed green card in 18-24 months so that they can change employers. Those companies would quit applying for visas almost immediately.
In my experience, unions drive out people that are capable of getting employment elsewhere, and give tenure to people that are OK with infinite bullshit and with extorting their employers.

If you are in the latter category, go for it. Unionize. I’ll happily join a startup and get an extra 7 figures in my exit because your teams repeatedly tripped over their own dicks while actively preventing management from defending your market share.

This isn’t true in all industries, but tech workers are exceptionally mobile, and the technology landscape constantly shifts, which undermines incumbent players. Together, those two factors make it true for us.

Also, I should point out that I have been aggressively spoiled by current and former employers.

Historically, those organizations have to treat us well or attrition would kill them. The current downturn is relatively minor, and doesn’t seem to have made any fundamental changes to these trade offs.

My son is an English language learner in high school, and this is the first year he is in the standard English class instead of English for ELLs. His class is reading Into the Wild and it's a bit beyond his current reading comprehension level, so I used GPT-3.5 to build an annotated version for him to read. Less common English language words can be clicked on to hear the pronunciation and see the definition in Spanish, and every few paragraphs, there is a summary in Spanish. I had GPT-4 do the web design for me.

It raises an interesting point, if I train a chatbot (generative AI) on a bit of copyrighted information and it recreates substantially similar content, it's a legal problem. If a human reads the same information and tells another person verbatim it's just a conversation. Perhaps it's a quality thing, I paint the Mona Lisa badly no one cares, but if I paint it too well at some point it becomes a forgery.
