> The right answer is to work on fixing that culture.

Why? What if the company is OK with their monoculture?

Or what if they're OK with dealing with the higher cost of cultural transition later once they are more profitable? Kind of like ignoring tech debt - ignoring cultural debt. Or maybe they're OK with staying a smaller size and have no need for more inclusive culture?

Just spitballing, looking at a company like Riot Games or Blizzard who are now dealing with the cultural fallout (lawsuits etc) after years of ignoring "cultural debt". But what if they hadn't ignored it? Would they be as successful as they are today?

Maybe they succeeded in part because of their now "toxic" culture and they are paying their debts that they ignored, or maybe they succeeded in spite of their "toxic" culture.

Diversity has a cost associated with it - namely that people need to be more empathetic and need to be much better communicators. Also people have trouble interviewing and picking out good candidates from different cultural backgrounds by default. A lot of people who are not used to diverse environments need training - training that they don't want to receive. Would be be better for society if people were able to deal with diversity? Yea, but maybe not for a startup or small company who would need to pay for it, especially in early stages

> Calling it now within 6 years this will be as normal as Tinder.

hard disagree. tinder is a cesspool and large numbers of younger folks are not using it, or are moving to other options. because of all of the bots.

for the folks desperate for any sort of parasocial activity, it will be normal, but those people are already on 4chan / 8chan / whatever, and already have their RealDoll.

Something less blatantly sexual or romantic will be a thing everywhere, though, as a personal concierge. Looking forward to that, assuming they can make it so its not an insane privacy violation or psy-op.
I see a lot of this argument when social media is brought up. A lot of people generally agree with the idea that there are a lot more supportive environments available on the web than in a traditional small town with narrow ideals. I would argue though that the statistics do not bear this truth out: if having these communities and support groups are so necessary, then why is suicide and mental health worse now than they were prior to the internet?
I don't think I have ADHD but trying to read a news website without an ad blocker actually triggers me a little. The content keeps moving around as the ads are pumped in, and then a video (often unrelated to the article) begins to play, and it's often impossible to close it.

I'm unable to concentrate on the article. And then the ads change and a new batch is rotated in. Some of them try their best to obscure the content, they are all demanding my attention like screeching birds in the nest.

Stimulating different parts of the body stimulates different parts of the brain[1].

I don’t see a ton of other ways, it seems like anything else would require Ukraine to give up something, which is a pretty hard sell in response to an unprovoked invasion.

(I mean obviously it is Ukraine’s right to decide if they want to, like, sacrifice some territory in exchange for a peace treaty, but they seem to have pretty good morale and Russia didn’t respect their previous agreement not to invade, so it seems like it would be hard to start negotiating).
I agree with you aesthetically, though if it was a privately-owned, publicly-accessible space, I wouldn't go as far as to commit vandalism, as bad as it may look. (If it was placed by a member of the public without consent of the owner I'd agree with taking it down.)

That said, I've been waiting for a good set of widely popular AR glasses to come out so I can write a real-life ad blocker for them.

The answer to some of those questions would also be "no" for particular types of milk (e.g. skimmed milk).

Honestly, if someone told me that they got confused between dairy milk and plant-based milk, I'd laugh at them. It's not likely to be a recurrent problem either, as surely you'd realise when you came to use it.

This is not about the BOM for AM radio components. It's about sidestepping the R&D costs and BOM costs of the stuff needed to keep electric motors, switching power supplies, etc. in new electric vehicle products from murdering the low end of the radio frequency spectrum.
You may be right. But free speech and free markets have done a lot of good, along with the bad. Trying to rein them in gets a lot of pushback, because the alternatives have been pretty terrible too.

It's abhorrent that VCs and board members do not push their companies to at minimum involve behavioral specialists in their decision-making. Yes, I understand they are driven by profits, but they are humans too, many self-proclaimed to be "mission-driven" and wanting to "move humanity forward," yet they pour billions of dollars into literally engineering addiction under the guise of "retention" and "engagement" by "growth PMs," with no one in the process concerned for the effects of these products on users' mental health. They lower the threshold for addiction then quickly abdicate all responsibility by blaming users for not exhibiting adequate self-control and discipline. It is Evil and that is not an exaggeration.
Yea definitely makes sense to me that you're concentrating on the company's experience! It's also such a massive market (just like, all companies), that there's an insane amount of room to grow, even without tackling the david vs goliath problem.

I'm not going to comment on the specifics of your process. There isn't always a right or wrong to handle this stuff.

Your comment and the parent point to the theme that matters to me most: do you care to understand/show interest in what your kids are doing. Forget about social media - just think about TV. You can park your kid in front of the TV and forget about them, converse with them as they watch, or something in between. Your kids also need quiet/down time as well.

Again, not to say I'm right, but I try not to litigate what is happening so much, and instead I try to just be an active participant in whatever my kids are doing. The counter where you restrict or limit or challenge doesn't always work out better in the end.

Here's a novel idea: advertisers might put a modicum of care into selecting the time, place, and manner in which to present products to the world.
I've got good news for you!

Currently, four states—Vermont, Alaska, Hawaii, and Maine—have prohibited billboards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard
While I would agree the vast majority of the time, ads are also used heavily by small businesses and independent developers to gauge interest and even just to keep the lights on sometimes. Mostly referring to online ads, billboards and TV ads are much more expensive and are far more risky for small businesses.
Faculty perceptions of unidentified aerial phenomena
I have no preference either way to keep or get rid of AM radio, but I have to wonder, do people under 30 even know what AM radio is or how to tune into it? Just like with manual transmissions and cursive writing, it's probably something they've never had any need to do. Does it help in an emergency if you not only don't know how to do it, but also don't know to do it. I was born in the 70s and listened to plenty of AM radio, but for the last 30+ years AM radio has basically meant "low quality far right talk and religious programming maybe with some country music on the side." I haven't even thought of turning on AM radio in literally decades.
I don't think your anger at that is irrational at all.

>gets paid very high license fees for everything that includes anything that talks to anything else over the air

And I think this is the major reason why they have stagnated and have not come out with any ARM SoC's capable of matching what Apple has. They can just rest on their laurels collecting rent from all their license fees while releasing an unimpressive new SoC every once in a while

I really hope one of the big x86 chip makers decides to dip their toes into ARM at some point

Ah, the internet where people who know absolutely nothing cite a PR blog directly from a company providing bold assertions that then give them 100% confidence.

I’ve been in at least four fully self-driving dev / S0 / drivable buck vehicles and they are absolute garbage imo. We had one planned demo that was delayed because of fog in 2020, not road fog, but crap on the LiDAR glass. How many have you directly worked with?

You’ll be happy to know it isn’t just weather that makes this all fake though.

Road crown, even minor, but especially major in the northwest. Reflections, refractions. Lights and electronic billboards. Potholes. Missing road paint. ANY sort of road work at all. “Unhomed” people washing windshields. Squirrels (day) and mice/rats (night). Other bad drivers. Just plain dirty vehicles, self and others. Dust.

It’s all garbage. If we were serious it would be long haul, V2V V2I (vehicle to infra/vehicle). But yea yea, Waygo says they solved weather so just post their claim and you win! Reality can’t compete with marketing, except it always does.

LOL. Yes that's true. At first I found it frustrating, now I find it as the key to their appeal. Maybe even kinda charming.

But yeah, by not chasing or trying to keep up with everyone they're kinda free to do their thing even on majorly old hardware.

At the end of the day, even though I own a PS5, 5 years from now I'll still remember how much fun I had with TOTK. I barely touch my PS5 as is. Waiting for Spider-man 2 and GTA 6 (who knows if that will even come out during the PS5 lifecycle).

But yeah, in my estimation, more Switch games are aging incredibly well. But that's just me and I care little about next graphics especially if the the game isn't fun or the gameplay isn't fun.
This might actually be a better UI for finding settings than their real settings app cause I swear I can never find anything in it and they move stuff around and rename things every other update

Masking tape being a notable example:

> By the early 1920s, two-toned cars were the rage, and that created a major headache for the automotive industry. To craft this duo-tone look, one portion of the car had to be masked off while the other was painted. The problem was nobody knew how to do this well. So automakers and auto body shops improvised. They glued old newspapers to the body and windows with library pastes, homemade glues or surgical adhesive tape. This helped create a sharp demarcation between the two colors, but the adhesives stuck so firmly that trying to remove them often ruined the paint job.

> At the time, 3M primarily manufactured sandpaper and other abrasives. One of Dick Drew's jobs was taking samples of waterproof sandpaper (another 3M invention) to nearby auto body shops for testing. One morning in 1923 he walked into one of these shops and overheard "choicest profanity I'd ever known." Yet another paint job was botched and the worker who'd done it was furious. Drew had seen this occur on many other visits, but this time he spoke up. He could, he said, produce a tape that would end the painter's torment.

He who has the gold makes the rules --- and can create his own market/arbitrage opportunities.

You can barter with anything you want, that doesn't make it a currency. In fact, bitcoin has a way harder path to being recognized as a currency explicitly because there is no army to enforce it as a currency. That means it can only really be a currency by consensus, and if walmart and kroger don't take it, good luck making people agree to it being a currency.

Bitcoin does not meet the desires laid out in the whitepaper, not even close. Bitcoin isn't even a currency by it's own standards.
We de-linked the two because there was no practical way to autoscale the database, but autoscaling microservices is easy. Obviously you want to be very cautious about how you treat inelastic compute.

Today there are lots of practical ways to autoscale databases and colocating data and compute is generally good for performance and simplicity (your mileage may vary for simplicity).
Indeed, the analogy is limited. I would agree that Bitcoin has limited utility today, compared to the early days of the web. But there was also no real competitor to the web and it was not threatening some of the most powerful entities on earth (e.g. the US government). I don't know how long it took for gold to become a form of money but I bet it was a lot more than 14 years.

Regardless, the point was not to compare the utility of Bitcoin to that of the web. It was to highlight that the prevalence of bad investments and fraudsters in a given technology sector is not necessarily linked with the merits or potential of the underlying technology.
> There is some security even if they provide the public key.

That security is integrity, which PyPI already provides through strong cryptographic digests of each package distribution. Codesigning schemes need to provide authenticity, not just integrity; a codesigning scheme that's downgradeable to arbitrary key trust is a more complicated than necessary hashing scheme.
