> Probably just like vertical farming, it uses vastly more energy than traditional farming.

That's an unfounded assumption - vertical vegetable farming uses more energy than traditional vegetable farming (with a trade-off of less land).

However, farming animals also uses more energy than farmi9 vegetables. So it's possible that lab grown meat won't use more energy than farm grown meat, and will come with enough other benefits - less water and land use, less cruelty, less antibiotics, less risk of cross transmission of disease - that even if there is an increase in energy use, the trade-off will be worth it.

So happy to hear this.
That's interesting to me because my family's weekend trips were almost always to such places.

There's more to do than in the city and the restaurants are generally better - you just need to drive there.
When it came time almost two years ago to get a new laptop, I had a choice between a MacBook Pro for over $4000 or an Alienware that I could modify with 64gb memory and an extra SSD for half the price. Bare metal gaming with better performance and even though it doesn’t support Linux, it supports it better than Mac. Cost half as much. No futzing around with packages that don’t work on the M1, just good old AMD x86 goodness. The battery life sucks, but that rarely bothers me.

I’d love to buy an Apple, but it has never been priced competitively. My wife’s MacBook broke and it costs almost as much just to fix as to buy a new laptop.
I don't get the strong/weak link analogy.

Supposedly, you have a chain with links. The weakest link breaks first.

Now what kind of chain would have its strongest link break first?

Anyway, we might as well call this min/max problems.
Macs are incredibly good value. The M1 Air actually starts at 800$ if you chase the deals and $900 if you buy from Apple with education discount.

Nothing ever comes to the quality at that price, so even if you can buy much cheaper laptops those suffer in quality and performance. This means the value per dollar is not any better than MacBook Air, unless you are extremely short on dollars.

Also the re-sell value of Apple products is good and combined with the durability of Apple laptops(this is where the repairability folks fail to convince most people because for most people Apple devices don't break down, they become obsolete after extensive use) the money spent on Macs turns to be an investment. The "Apple premium" you pay when you buy an iDevice is actually a recoverable when you sell it.

I think it's mainly a U.S. thing as their cities are designed around personal car usage. That leads to the separation of living spaces and facilities (i.e. the anti-15 minute city) as more roads need to be built to cater for all the traffic which then leads to the distances increasing until a car is needed for almost every journey. Once you have cars dominating as the form of transport, it becomes dangerous to use other vehicles as most drivers will inevitably just be looking out for other cars and not two-wheelers.
I'm curious why you felt you needed to upgrade. To my knowledge Windows 11 doesn't do anything that Windows 10 cannot, except for support Intel e cores.
You still would have had ~3 years left before windows 10 goes EoL (consumer version)
The camera is pointing at the car. The train is moving past the car. The images of the whole train are made by stitching together lots of photos, all containing the bit of the train in front of the car as it moves past it.
Thanks, I was not so familiar with the behaviour of the app store for multiple devices like that

And yes, if you click buy once and get 3 different apps, then I'd say it's the same store

Portable CD players are a lot more clunky than a portable Minidisc player though, they're huge for one, and IIRC Minidisc tended to be better at shock resistance. They did fill a niche as a cassette replacement for a while.
> Why is buying something 10x more powerful than you'd need at 2x the price "good value"?

I would argue in the same way that buying an expensive pair of boots that last longer than a cheap pair to be good value.

> You should have a look at Windows' desktop market share and get back to us. They still own the space.

What is the trend line and how much is that space growing by relative to other devices like mobile phones and tablets?
This is awesome. Really nice!
Stock is up 5% as of posting this, so I think the market already priced in something even worse potentially.
> Because Apple will forcibly kill it after that with incompatible software updates. Windows machines keep going until they physically break.

This is demonstrably false. My wife continues to use my hand-me-down MacBook Air I bought in 2011. It was supported officially by the macOS until the most recent release, so she’s only one OS revision behind. I also recently retired a 2009 Mac Mini that I used 24/7 as a home server, only because the power supply failed. I used the G4 Mac I bought in 1999 as my daily driver (with some upgrades) until 2009.

A decade or more of use is an incredible value, and I’ve done that multiple times with my Macs. Few of my PCs have had a useful life approaching that length of time (the closest was an Atom machine I ran for 7 years).
This was a big issue for me. My school wouldn’t give me visibility into the laptop, they wouldn’t let me set screen time controls, wouldn’t let me tune content filters when they were out of school, wouldn’t let me install apps that I purchased, wouldn’t let kids message parents, and wanted me to sign these blanket “we can capture all data, including camera and microphone, sell it to whomever we want, and do whatever we want with it” waivers.

Aside from teaching kids to be slaves to sysadmins and kind of crushing the coolest part of computers, they were basically making kids take care of these expensive bricks. And that’s a lot of work for an 8 year old.

I think it’s more due to stupidity than any agenda, but still not something I want to be involved with.

I bought cheap refurbed macbookairs that sync to screen time controls with other devices, have pretty decent privacy controls, I have root school doesn’t, they can message me and other family members, and the battery lasts two days. The school didn’t like it, but I had to make a stink and said either this or do special paper assignments. My kids were embarrassed but now appreciate just putting their laptop into their backpack instead of laptop plus charger and charging it all day.

The school still issues their laptops some days for exams that will only run on their equipment. Whatever that means.
At least the last two quarterly slides are similar in terms of lumping International operations ("Segment Results – International" slide #10 in [1], [2]) in one slide.

Is the article about previous qualitative callouts they used to make that were India focused activites that are now deemphasized?

A similar priced mac > windows is ~2x the price, with no upgrade-ability options. I'm not so sure the price is right, it's expensive and they are making good money on it, but I agree does have some un-matchable features such as the battery life.

I work with both windows (with WSL) and mac OS, and there's nothing massively that sells me either way on the base OS, however I really wish tools like raycast existed in windows.
I wrote a set of Python/PIL scripts to arrange image collages for print calendars, web backgrounds, ...etc. In one particular script I use to build backgrounds, the images remain the same height but they can be different widths. The images built are seamless. Here's an example of some comic book covers in a collage using one of these scripts:

Are they porting their acclaimed tabloid news service or does that stay in cpp?
Entertainment media seem to have significantly different use-of-force standards than any real life legal or moral statutes. Maybe because the drama of protracted Mexican standoffs would be undercut if people reacted realistically to having guns pointed at them.

The Greedo scene has been tweaked multiple times. In the most recent version available on Disney+ (confirmed to be Lucas’ work), Greedo exclaims “macklunkey!” just before the shooting starts, which I find hilariously absurd.
I like to fish at night. So I built 3D printed bobbers with an LED diode and scavenged LiPo batteries from vapes inside. It has a dime sized wireless charger receiving coil that is glued inside to a slightly flattened bottom. Externally I built a mini solar panel that charges a scavenged 18650 that charges the battery with a wireless transmitter. The bobber is about the size of a golf ball. I used a slow blinking LED diode that changes color of the bobber. Haven't caught a fish with it yet but it is mesmerizing watching it change colors and bob on the water.
"Going back to the basic" _also_ means a drastically decreased life expectancy, dying of avoidable sicknesses and generally a dull, short and miserable life. You can't retain all the benefits of modern society and only "go back" on all the drawbacks.
But this is no either/or situation, a future as you describe it is avoidable, and lab-grown meat does not automatically lead to Google Chicken or Amazon Bacon.
> “Where are you from? I haven't seen an "annoyingly narrow" ped/cycle bridge in Sweden or Belgium.”

I’d say most of London’s busy pedestrian/cycle bridges and tunnels are annoyingly narrow.

Even taking cyclists out of the equation, they can get congested at times, particularly with tourists stopping to take photos from the middle etc.

So a cyclist can either be polite and move at pedestrian speed, which is annoying for the cyclist. Or weave and dodge pedestrians at speed (typically Deliveroo/UberEats riders on e-bikes) which is annoying and dangerous for pedestrians…
That sounds like a lot of fun, and really interesting to boot! I hadn't heard of Asterisk until today.

Have you written anything on the development of this project, or is this something you'd consider? I would love to build something similar, and the idea of combining old analogue technology with modern tools and integrations- especially PBX- is quite intriguing.
I worked a few years as a night manager in a hotel in Norway - we always had to figure out a solution when overbooked - at "our" expense (customer pays/pre-paid agreed upon price, we cover room and transport at alternative accommodation - usually more expensive).

As a bonus re: booking.com - they integrated with our booking system and always overbooked, unless our system lied about available rooms (would happily sell rooms when none were available - especially annoying at night, when a booked room typically means an occupied room).
Ah. So I think basically anywhere near here that has restaurants that anyone would be bothered about making a trip for would also be within walking distance of a bus route. The places that you really _can't_ get to on public transport are very rural.
> Because Apple will forcibly kill it after that with incompatible software updates.

Um, I have a 2012 MacBook Air (11"), that I use for my low-end testing, and as a Zoom host. Works fine. Runs lots of software.

It has to run Catalina (Mac OS 10.15), but Apple still pushes out security patches to it (I think we're up to 10.15.7).
Are you in college? If so, I’d recommend you at least try and enjoy those four years first. It’s an experience you can’t reproduce later.
> You should have a look at Windows' desktop market share and get back to us. They still own the space.

Ah yes the dwindling, profit starved desktop market

Yes they're still at a high percentage, of an ever smaller market

Not going the way of the vinyl record yet, but who knows?
I'm not sure "forcibly kill" is the adjective/verb I would have used. I have plenty of older Macs still running older versions of Mac OS. In some ways I kind of prefer them (because I still like the older Mac OSes).

Maybe this is more of an indictment rather than a defense of Apple, but one machine I keep on an OS that's over 5 years old because it has the one version of Apple's Photos that didn't yet screw up the retouch tool. (And I use that tool exhaustively in retouching old family photos I scan in.)
They wanted to play Valorant with their friends; the anti-cheat code did not work on the 9020 on Windows 10; there was a limited amount of time I was willing to spend to find a cheaper workaround for a machine that’s 9 years old, with the prospect of doing the same again 6 months later.

That was the actual driver, though this thread is about OS vendors forcing changes in order to run the latest OS, which is why I focused on the Win11 TPM2 requirements and mentioned the 9 year old Air running a still-patched Catalina.
I would expect astronauts landing on Deimos would wear some sort of jet pack that could push them back to the surface in case they accidentally float a bit too far away from it.

That's one of the biggest strawmens I've ever seen. Nobody is saying that they want to ban cars outright, they want to ban cars in city centers, in order to make them walkable.
I think there's something about sounds that you learn early on in language acquisition - maybe your brain develops differently.

'th' is the obvious one that non-english speakers struggle with. I remember a dutch guy laughing at my attempts at various dutch words - I literally could not hear the difference between his pronunciation and mine.

And 'ch' (as in Loch or Bach) is a sound in Scottish english but not in English english.

I lived in Scotland till I was 4, then moved to England and all traces of my previous Scottish accent are long long gone. But my friend, whose surname is Donnachie, says I'm the only English person she's met who pronounces her name correctly - I guess because I learnt that sound early on.

Similarly, my dad, who learnt english in India, still struggles with a "j" sound (he says "zudge" instead of "judge"), despite living here for 50 years and having a posh middle-class English accent that sounds just like a "native" english speaker.
> Humans can be consistent if we try.

That's a bold statement. Do you have evidence for this?
Kids know how to clear the watch history. YouTube has been a real struggle for me.

My kids cleared the watch history then I would notice the history was empty so I’d talk to them about it.

Then the started clearing and then leaving playlists of “educational” stuff running over night to poison the history.

Kids are smart.

I haven’t found a real solution yet other than banning YouTube on everything but the tv in the family room.

It’s funny because classes assign YouTube videos and the kids have to sit there and watch ads before their assignment.
These are not clean rooms and invasive pests absolutely do make their way in and then have to be dealt with.
Display technology will continue to improve like audio hardware has over the decades. We haven't matched the human eye yet.

Cameras are shooting 12-25 bits of dynamic range. Displays can't yet render this, but the data is being captured and better reflects what the eye can see as it adjusts looking around a scene. This gives a lot of latitude when processing RAWs (sensor data) to render out a final image in a chosen format (Currently commonly SRGB 8bpc but moving to 10bpc 709/2020)

No reason paintings or created works couldn't also fill out at least a ~24 bit dynamic range similar to audio (Hence the move to 10bpc, which gives roughly ~1.07e9 (2^10)^3 possible colours compared to ~1.67e6 (2^8)^3)

In painting this would let you have a lot more contrast before blowing out a highlight (hitting the digital limit in brightness representation and clipping or losing information), and a proper tonemapping curve combined with dithering can fold this down for lower capability displays. This also gives you a lot more range to work with when digitally colour mixing.

A similar thing already happens with 3D rendering workflows in Blender/C4D/Maya/etc. where an output curve is applied for tonemapping and colour correction.

This lets you work in an unconstrained space for processing/creating and then incorporates a mastering/release specific step for rendering out to a given display format. The great part is, as technology improves the original work can just be displayed as is. (Think about the progression from wire recording -> tape -> cassette -> CD -> direct master renders sold in lossless file format)
What about the (experimental big button'd -you can hit with your ellbow) hardware for the (war-)disabled folks, there was something xbox-specific for their participation in gaming online if i remember correctly?
Yeah, my impression visiting the US has been that once you leave a big city, things become difficult to navigate alarmingly quickly. It's a bit different here; the suburbs and other cities and towns are usually fairly accessible via public transport.
India looks like a very overhyped market. Most of the wealth lies in a handful of cities. Margins outside are wafer thin to non existent.
I don't disagree with you, but the context was telling people to "just quit smoking," which is pretty silly advice because of how addictive it is. Those same people probably wouldn't seriously say, "just quit heroin."

Your parent comment it's utterly wrong.
Lab Grown Meat has a marketing problem above all. The lab that grows meat is not drastically different from the facilities that produce modern milk, cheese or other products, but the marketing of these respective products suggest that medieval farmers are hand-milking happy cows to produce them.

This is due to the fact that at this stage, this meat is academia-driven and not marketing-driven.
I built a Chrome extension to be able to use spaced repetitions for chess puzzles/exercises that I found online. Used it for a couple years and gained at least 200 Elo rating with it :)

You are describing most European countries though, minus the low taxes part.

This misses the most likely interpretation. That "I'm afraid" is an empathetic (or pseudo-empathetic) substitute for "I'm sorry, but..." implying that you have been fired and it doesn't matter the impact on your work. The boss isn't literally afraid and you are fired.
His point was trying to measure OS market-share by checking desktop-only is no longer a valid approach.

Even big players like Microsoft are forced to offer their software and services on non-Windows platforms (like mobile and tablets!) if they want to remain relevant.

So counting desktop only paints a false picture, wrt where users are and where computing is happening.

And that last bit is what is relevant from a Intel POV. An increasing amount of compute is now done outside the Intel-chip arena of desktops, like it used to be before.
In the boardgame Terraforming Mars, you can do that with Deimos. In the game, it would increase the temperature of Mars by a couple of degrees and destroy some of an opponent's plants.
I think the Jabba scene is arguably worse because it simply repeats the same lines we already had in the Greedo scene for no real gain. It also undermines the dramatic reveal of the much-discussed but never-seen Jabba in ROTJ. Plus the unnecessary fan service of Boba Fett literally turning and staring at the camera at the end.
(Not sure if your last sentence was a joke meant to undermine your argument preceding it? Maybe by mainframe though you're referring to servers.)

I generally agree with your point though but I am seeing that as more and more of office work moves to living within a web browser, it is becoming more hardware agnostic.
I’m curious what those prices would look like today. In 2021 I bought a MBP M1 Max with 32 Gb RAM and a 500 Gb ssd for about 3k.

Looks like a max spec Alienware X14 R2 costs around 2,100 dollars. However the battery life seems to be the biggest drawback, most reviews say it lasts under 8 hours while my MBP lasts 12-16 depending on usage.
This. Parent it's deluded if Windows can even be compared to a hardenex Guix setup with rollbacks and sandboxed Chromium/Icecat's.

I would think otherwise if Windows used virtualisation and sandboxing to run old Win32 apps from XP and below. Because lots of enterprise software depends on proper compatibility modes, and there the security gets thrown out of the window.

I've built two projects that I'm very happy with.

I'm still using livejournal.com social network nobody cares about today and when I was really into common lisp I decided to build a cli client to it. What makes it cool is that it's just markdown files locally and the client works almost like git, you can even pull and push posts. After I wrote it I was able to pull all my posts since 2007 or so from the service and have them locally as markdown files, any updates would be synced.

The other thing I've built mostly for my self is a notes taking service https://dabdab.org which allows to take notes the way I want it. What was cool about it was that I was able to almost reinvent django or rails but in go, so everything is fast, but still compile checks. From the product side I've managed to get to the same level of comfort one would get with github issues (markdown, image upload etc).

Both things have 1 user at the moment (me) do I think that counts :D
