None of these things have been impossible in a fiat economy. Nothing about the crypto economy makes these easier, more profitable, or desirable for private companies to implement.

Nintendo at no point WANTS their players to be able to use their pokemon in something that you didn't have to buy from Nintendo. This isn't complicated to understand.

There is no desire from IP holders, from investors, from developers, from anyone involved, to allow you to export your Keanu Reeves skin from Fortnite into whatever else. Why do that when they can just make you buy it again? Why would anyone forgo that literal free money when the vast majority of video game players seem perfectly willing to spend 10s of real dollars on a simple, half assed texture made by an intern in a few days. It's been a literal gold mine.
I happen to have a 180W adapter that came with my 2020 laptop.

Crude measurements with a ruler indicate that Framework's unit is approximately 23% smaller by volume.

I don't know how far this field moved forward over the past three years, but I see this as a win - mine is especially annoying to handle due to its length - ~150mm.

Would love to know something about the weight, because that thing is a brick, which for this reason I don't normally take along with me on trips and opt for the 60W USB-C charger instead.
Yes, the developer tried to backtrack later in the call...

You say it was later in the call, but it was an immediate request for clarification and then reworded and clarified once that statement was made. There wasn't some long back and forth where the developer finally relented and changed his mind.

If anything, the immediate response of "No, no, sorry. I didn't mean that to-" seems to indicate that he wanted to clarify what he meant.

And "if you want Apollo to go quiet" isn't the original quote anyways, not sure why you had to paraphrase but pretend otherwise.

And sailing along their coast is not aggressive expansionism, but.. what, exactly?

Furthermore, 1. UNCLOS allows coastal states to determine whether foreign ships are allowed to enjoy the right of innocent passage, and 2. the US does not even recognize UNCLOS. So much for "zero room for negotiation" - an unequivocally false statement.
FWIW there is suggestions that old.reddit.com is next on the chopping block. If that happens I dont think I could use the site anymore. The redesign is outright hostile.
He says, in the FA, that the problem was that Reddit's prices kick in 1 month from now, but plenty of people have already pre-paid him for a year at the old price. So he loses 50k the first month, then 10% of his user base re-ups at the new price and month 2 he only loses 45k, then another 10% renew and he only loses 40k in month 3... not really a sustainable way to run a business.
I’m starting to wonder what the upside of working at a big tech company really is.

Stability: no (who knows when the next layoffs will be)

Base Pay: maybe (probably higher on average)

Stock: maybe - but a complete crapshoot

Fulfilling work: maybe, but it could be disrupted by politics, maybe some side feature of a side feature, or you might just get laid off anyway

Frankly it’s hard to trust putting your energy into something new after being let go. At least at a small company market performance might be more closely tied to your performance, not random politics or idiotic decisions.

Seems you go to a large company to chill out, save up base pay, but not really give it your all as so much is out of your control.

Tech companies are shutting down their junior pipelines and turning their most senior talent into burned out careerists who don’t care. They’re managing to mediocrity, not growth. Which honestly maybe makes sense in a non 0 interest rate economy. I just wish they’d be honest about it
But only regional trains. To me the biggest advantage is not having to worry about what tickets to buy in foreign cities.
Twitter pushed me onto Mastodon a while back and i imagine Reddit will do the same. Funny enough, i have exactly one of the clients mentioned in this discussion - Tweetbot - on Mastodon. Ie the app made by the same devs.
I hated the_donald plenty, mostly because they banned people for no reason or for stupid reasons. Which is the exact same offense that Reddit at large committed, but at least the_donald people were upfront about it.

I think we're on the same page overall here, just that I never put any faith in the sanctity of Reddit's database
Maybe this is why politicians seem to trying to ruin all education. They want generations of undereducated assembly line workers.
They fed mice 1g taurine per 1kg body weight per day.

For me that would be 80g per day.

1kg of pure taurine cost 25€ on Amazon.

That makes a 1.20€ per day.

Sounds okay.
Nature will win in both of these scenarios.
They could easily turn a profit. Just:

1. Bring back old.reddit.com.
2. Make the app less insanely shit and annoying. (Didn't they buy a better app just to kill it at some point?)
3. Require third party apps to show ads.
4. Fire half the employees. No way you need 400.

Easy peasy.
Not this year but twice recently because of externalities: first time day one of COVID, and again recently because of banking crisis.

I can’t imagine going back to work for others. I haven’t settled on a plan, but it’s either overseas or self employed, in or out of tech. If I didn’t have a kid I liked spending most of my free time with I’d probably disappear with my modest satchel of gold coins to a remote corner of the world.

I used to joke I wanted to do something interesting, innovative, or creative. My POV has changed dramatically.

Did you miss the part where spez apologised for misunderstanding him?
The only thing I agree with you on is how Christian brought up Reddit acquiring Apollo. He didn’t give that topic the right amount of seriousness, but besides for that Steve comes off really poorly here.
No, they're built to unscrew easily, and they're captive, so you can't even lose them.
These agreements are not the only cause, if everyone would have kept on buying locally produced products, the jobs would have remained. Problem is that we bought the cheaper products, making it impossible for companies producing locally to stay profitable. We want our cake and eat it too.
It doesn't do as much as you think for cattle feed as most the high % numbers you see touted are only looking at feedlot emissions - which are only 11% of overall cattle emissions. Actual reductions are pretty small

>What’s more, feeding cattle algae is really only practical where it’s least needed: on feedlots. This is where most cattle are crowded in the final months of their 1.5- to 2-year lives to rapidly put on weight before slaughter. There, algae feed additives can be churned into the cows’ grain and soy feed. But on feedlots, cattle already belch less methane—only 11 percent of their lifetime output

[...]

>Unfortunately, adding the algae to diets on the pasture, where it’s most needed, isn’t a feasible option either. Out on grazing lands, it’s difficult to get cows to eat additives because they don’t like the taste of red algae unless it’s diluted into feed. And even if we did find ways to sneak algae in somehow, there’s a good chance their gut microbes would adapt and adjust, bringing their belches’ methane right back to high levels.

[...]

> All told, if we accept the most promising claims of the algae boosters, we’re talking about an 80 percent reduction of methane among only 11 percent of all burps—roughly an 8.8 percent reduction total

Bye Bye Ubuntu, Hello Manjaro. How Did We Get Here?
The latest Macbook 140W charger is USB PD EPR; It's not 180W, but it's one of the first running EPR.

It appears the Macbook charger gets about ~93% efficiency at ~100W load, and 87% efficiency at ~27W load. No metrics on the 140W charging I can find, though.
That is my experience as well. On twitter I don't see adult content without looking for it specifically vs Instagram pushing me in that direction. Reddit will expose you to nsfw content but there are big differences between recommendation engines pushing you in one direction and the different ways you can consume reddit as a user.

r/all, frontpage, only following niche subreddits, only following your city's subreddit, only nsfw content, only gaming subreddits, only memes pages, only gardening etc.

I don't think anybody outside Framework knows for sure yet (maybe not even internally) but my impression from what they've shared so far is that the expansion bays are intended to be very easily swappable (external, a click & push like the expansion slots) but almost certainly not hot-swappable while the machine is powered on.

They do have some initial specs at https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/ExpansionBay that somebody more knowledgeable than me might be able to glean some practical info from.
I don't like the implications of the quoted "discovered".
Think of it like those movie posters or bookmarks that change as you move from side to side, but with a screen behind it.

The Wikipedia article might explain it better: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenticular_lens

It could work in both dimensions but you're sacrificing even more resolution by doing it that way. For example imagine you have a 1000x1000 pixel display (I just made this resolution up) and you stick a 1D lenticular screen on top with a pitch of 10 pixels. You've effectively split the display into 10 separate 100x1000 displays that are each view from a different angle. You could instead use a 2D lenticular screen and split it up into 100 100x100 displays viewable from a different angle in a 10x10 grid at virtually no extra $ cost. However, you're displaying at 1/10th the resolution just to be able to support perspective-correct views from above or below, which are way less common than from the side.
The awards on this are horribly tone-deaf. Yes, pay the man for fucking you over. I can't believe abstracting payment with goofy little icons makes people so willing to fork over their cash even in situations like this.
Yeah, In Apple's vision, FB/Social is still just an app. For FB, social is the world. Like a matrix transposed. Still Apple can do all FB wants to do.
There's been a great deal of talk about it on reddit after they closed i.reddit.com (Despite saying they wouldn't). It wont get announced officially, it will just vanish at some point.
Which is exactly why i'm leaving Reddit. I don't imagine old.reddit will be around much longer either.
There is! It's called Lemmy, https://join-lemmy.org/

> It is more difficult to measure a human trait, than to measure a temperature.

You might want to read up on the history of thermodynamics. It took decades to figure out how to define and measure temperature. It's far more difficult to measure temperature than a human trait because one requires precise definition and modeling while the latter doesn't.

> Why can't we study humans, what study of humans would take the place of Psychology?

Neuroscience. Psychology is the easy way out to doing real science.

> I'd say all those pointing to the successes of 'hard' sciences, have it easier.

"Hard science" is more difficult because hard science has to testable via experiment. It isn't just a bunch of people agreeing to a consensus.

> Isn't iterative improvement what all science is about?

But psychology isn't iterative. It isn't improvement. 99% of psychology is not testable. The biggest critics of psychology are pyschologists themselves ( at least the honest ones ). Ask yourself why there are many competing schools of psychology. And then ask yourself why there is no scientific or experimental way to find the "right or correct school of psychology".

Psychology today is as scientific as astrology was hundreds of years ago. Until telescopes and radio waves allowed us to peer into the cosmos and gave us astronomy. The lack of tools and modeling of the human brain is what's holding back the science of the brain ( neuroscience ). Psychology is just modern day voodoo not different than astrology.
> People need to get to work, nobody needs to backpack through Europe

That is why American capitalism/consumerism is bad. Our society would be far, far better served if people exposed themselves to different cultures, beliefs, experienced world first hand instead of through talking head media. If more "found themselves" they'd know life isn't about work and money.

A great litmus test to see if an educational administrator is knowledgeable on STEM is to see if they regard woodshop/metalshop/autoshop as purely "vocational".

Bare in mind, vocational still means "not college bound" == "useless" == "doesn't look good in the US news rankings"

Ive talked to superintendents and they just give me a blank stare when I told them that a great way to get kids to understand the cartesian coordinate system is in machine or woodshop, reading a blueprint, schematic etc. Actually doing the work is better than a word problem. They have no respect for it and this is in the best educated state in the US with supposedly the best school system.

Bottom line, if we are going to build things again, it needs to start in the schools.

One question and one comment:

Q) What's the difference between a blocking comment and a "normal" comment + rejecting the PR?

C) Exposing metrics like "Review time per reviewer" may, at the wrong hands, incentivise the wrong behavior. For example, a team lead may view long review times by a particular reviewer as them being slow, whereas they are just more thorough. Tracking the total review time for the PR (aggregating the times from multiple reviewers) is more useful.
I'm not really talking about the little "Pi-class" ARM SOC boards, but more the "edge compute" type hardware market that might be served by a small stack of NUCs. The internal bus on the Pi's SoC maxes out at 3.6gbps; it's clearly a non-starter for a high-IO project, but there are plenty that would be highly serviceable.
Assuming you are in the US, 2020 saw the start of one of the most ridiculous hiring markets in the industry's history, so it should perhaps not come as a surprise - Meta alone added 13,000 employees in 2020, increasing headcount 30%. Many others did the same trying to ride that Covid wave during 2020/21 - future years may well look lean in comparison. Summer 2020 seeming good compared to 2023 should not feel surprising given what we know took place in the job market. This stayed hot right into early 2022 too.

When large firms like Meta and Google go on giant hiring sprees like we saw in 2020, it indirectly pushes up compensation offers from a lot of other software companies who also had to try to match these deals if they wanted to hire anyone good at all - everyone ends up competing with the large company offers. With those taps turned off, I've certainly noticed offers cooling too.

It may even be higher than that, because some of the usage of the other subreddits may be a consequence of being co-tenant neighbors to the NSFW subreddits, making it easy to move between the two kinds of content on the same site.

Which as a url, doesn't necessarily trigger corporate or school blocks unless the gateway is whack-a-mole filtering on subreddit names as well, and I suspect quite a few of those are designed not to reveal the nature of the content through the name alone.
It is not a work around in the sense that they will be able to track you, they won't.

What Google tells them that if they use Analytics 4, they can use modelling to give attribution of convertion. In this case, attribution means not fingerprinting but percentage of people that was converted thanks to Ads. For other analytic engines they set the fields as 'not set'.

They day that in their models they aggregate data as geo, IP, and others and they won't give the fingerprinting data. The only problem is that they don't give details on the privacy preservation of their ML models. This means that if they fuck it up and give to much information, someone could try to reverse the aggregation (like doing a deconvolution) and do some fingerprinting.
It would likely be less. See approaches like allometric scaling of dosages.

> if the impact of the change is so small, why does the CEO of this company with thousands of employees feel remotely compelled to...

We see this all the time on social media, where companies respond to the very vocal minority, because even though they may be a minority, their voice is amplified by social media. Not saying this is the case here, but it's why companies often respond even when the real impact may be small.
> Global oil production is on the order of 90M barrels/year

The "service" mechanism in Guix System is designed in part as a reaction against those the NixOS module design you're describing: I think the ambient authority, free-style extension mechanism of NixOS modules makes it hard to reason about it (any module can change the config of any other module), and it makes it easy to shoot oneself in the foot (with infinite recursion in particular, as you write).

In Guix System, services extend one another, forming a directed acyclic graph of extensions. When a service extends another service, that connection is explicitly declared, there's no surprise.

To see what it means in practice, check out the Explorer:
