I disagree with your claim that cars will be gone, as the rare non-SUV owner (and as someone who also answered parent to argue.) Cars don't cost that much when you drive reasonable cars for occasional trips. They're expensive, but certainly not as much as, say, food.

When there is enough momentum to push most cars out of town centers and to slow those not removed (10mph is ample to do the heavy lifting which should be the domain of cars), there will still be a place for asynchronous, on-demand high-speed travel. It will probably be a return to the family car for those with families, and other efficient arrangements for others.

When that happens, the relative free-loading of tractor trailers on interstates will be more exposed, plus the big box stores won't be as popular without daily car trips for all. By some highly suboptimal taxation scheme, we'll push logistics off the roads, except, once again, for high value uses where asynchronous, on-demand roads are worth the price.

Edit: I learned that the 2013 Odyssey is 19lb. over the minimum GVWR, so I am, in fact, a truck driver.
> We need the supposed ‘smartest guys in the room’ to be less dumb

Indeed. Many don't quite understand technology, and investors are no exception.

There are smart ones, but those not necessarily make good investments -- they may simply look for good future exits and leave the bomb on the laps of the next suckers.

> pay 20% more but get it all done in minutes online instead of hours at the local office. Who wouldn't pay for that if they could afford it?

Prompt access to government services should not require extra payment. Because then you're providing them an incentive to further kneecap the system. Hypothetically, imagine if this figure (20%) was now 2000%. Would that be fair? I'm sure some people would be able to pay that sum for processing in minutes, while the rest of us have to wait several hours.
The first lesson is quite interesting (and naive, I must say).

The mother had a chance to succeed with her proposal to meet the violin teacher because other mothers or fathers or future students did not show up at the teacher's door to talk about their children, in the case of parents, or themselves, in the case of students.
If, in this particular case, more people followed the "why not" strategy of the students' mothers, soon there would be forms to fill out to meet the famous teacher, or only the option of ambushing them when they eat breakfast.

Although this is a different case, it reminded me of the evolutionarily stable strategy of hawks and doves.
If they changed the wording from “corporate profits” to “lack of competition”, then a solution would be apparent. As it is, they’ve crafted the narrative to encourage a push toward even greater monopolism.
Yeah, I'm not really sure why my submission was flagged. This is related to internet freedom and laws surrounding that. Maybe it's a taboo subject?
So runs a virtual machine on any type of hardware?

I like the idea of computing that works anywhere and is not locked in by vendor, but it seems like this is early enough that they are light on specifics, from my cursory glance.
Innovation create a temporary inefficiency that the innovator can take advantage of. Once the market stabilizes there are no more profits to be had. So this theoretically would always drive innovation.

*repeatedly zooms/unzooms Firefox* Aw man, and I just finished convincing myself that my new 3440x1440 screen had "enough" resolution too. :p

That said, perhaps this particular scenario actually embeds an implicit/unreliable assumption: That for some reason both "A" and "龜" ought to be viewed by humans at about the same size.

I mean, imagine a hypothetical language where the required display-size of a glyph is a square patch 4x the area of "Hello", but the larger size is justified by how it also contains 4x more information, like "greetings / very-respectful / spouse of my son." The writing system just has a different decisions about how to chunk/group detail.
Sure, but that assumes that people will do nothing in the long term that affects their spending behavior and will just eat the cost indefinitely.

If groceries tomorrow cost 10x I would not suddenly be spending 10x my current grocery bill. Luxury purchases like snacks, soda, premade sauces, candy, off-season produce, would be on the chopping block. Anything non-perishable would be bought in bulk during sales and wholesale clubs.

And for people who are already scraping by it would result in a 10x grocery bill which they can now not pay.

There's only so much money you can squeeze from a stone in the long run. Rising prices like this changes consumer behavior but can't make money appear out of nowhere. Since food is one of the easiest ways to belt-tighten rising prices across the board has the risk of reducing the wallet share food producers have.
They likely don't find it unbearable if it's normal. Stagnation was the largest part of human history. Only since the Renaissance has progress accelerated substantially. Before then, the life of the children was about the same as the life of the parents and grandparents. Life was governed by tradition. Everyone had their predictable role to play. Being unhappy about "stagnation" wasn't an option, as anything else would have been outlandish science fiction, which didn't exist.
> Who is actually in control here? Is it blind forces pushing us to an inevitable outcome? The Illuminati? Lizard people?

less blind forces, more "well, what would you do in their situation": the people who first paid money for a given square of land were also the first to try to convince someone else to pay them more for that same land

natural resources aside, land only really has the value that other people are willing to pay for it, like currency. so if you want the "growth of your asset", the only thing you can really do is convince people the land is worth more than what you paid for it, for whatever reasons you dream up

A AAA membership in California does this for you for some things. Zero wait to register a purchased vehicle in silicon valley, possibly Mountain View I don't remember it's been a couple of years.

On the other hand I look like an axe murderer on my CA drivers license as the convoluted process took three hours and required starting over twice due to mistakes by the clerks.

Sorry. What part of human trafficking is consensual? Just trying to follow your logic here.

You seem to be projecting.
Innovation gives you a valuable competitive advantage - that doesn’t mean it lasts forever - that’s why companies have to constantly develop to stay competitive.

Or, they gain enough power to create a failed market, in which it is practically impossible for new entrants to compete and eliminate the incumbent’s rent-seeking. This is what we so often see now, particular in markets with strong economies of scale.

An “efficient market” does not mean it is at its optimal efficiency all the time, but that there is an efficient equilibrium it is capable of tending towards.
If the AC system is running on DC internally (e.g. DC fans instead of AC) then you have DC --> AC --> DC conversion and should probably figure about 10-15% loss at each of those. For convenience, call it a 25% loss of efficiency overall so not insignificant.

Edit: AC has advantages in transmission over distances, but if you're looking at both solar panels and AC units on the same roof distance is probably not a major factor.
Hence the quotes around "cramming" - it's now standard practice for the commits for a new feature to be merged into the mainline days before building a release. I can't say I ever remember doing that 20 years ago - there was always a code freeze period reserved for critical bug fixes.
> And yes, with how quick some software moves, two to three years can very much result in a mess of hacks and patches.

If you don't like the stable release, you could just run testing/unstable.

So far quite opposite is happening. Until about 15 years ago, Istanbul was very cosmopolitan city. You could meet people from all corners of Africa, Asia and Europe there. Even locals looked very white because of all slaves Ottomans brought into Istanbul. To some extend Istanbul was culturally not part of Turkey (something like London and UK).

Hovewer over last decade or so, Istanbul is being assimilated into Turkey. Many orthodox muslim turkish immigrants from east part of Turkey. More radicals... Foreigners are not so welcomed anymore...

Cost efficiency is like jumbo shrimp when it comes to government and you as the customer. OK, this website is now "profitable" charging x for y. Well, its not like Y was produced out of thin air beforehand. The taxpayer always pays. Its in the name. A system like this merely moves where the point of sale happens from one point in the stream to another. It's not any more profitable than what came before really, especially considering all this "profit" effectively is shot into the sun out of the system as it enters booze allens checkbooks instead of having it go back into the public purse.

I own with no shame at all that having joined a Federation which has a Ferengi-like enemy currently making plans to invade, it's just delightful. I am so up for this fight, because this MOREEYEBALLSFASTER mentality is like a set of horse blinders on those who exhibit it.

The VC viewpoint seems to be that we need more people over there in Mastodon, but the fact of the matter is that I am having the best interactions I have ever had on the internet, and a bunch of Facebook people, well, it would be like back in January of 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, when all the CMKs (Christmas Modem Kiddies) showed up and filled the BBSes with inane stupidity for a few weeks, until they found a new distraction.

Then later, you know, on Usenet, we used to complain daily about the idiocy of AOL users who had been provided with an easy onramp to fill up our boards with inane stupidity, but unlike the CMKs who would fade out after a while, like a yearly fishfly life cycle, the AOL people just kept coming and coming and coming.

The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!
There are no workers for the the desired amount of money (and a lack in the trades). The US has

- The Baby Boomers reaching Medicare + Social Security eligibility age.

- An Intransitive stance on immigration, leading to fewer workers, and especially an inability to hire trained workers

- Migrated from trades education ~30 years ago in favor of college preparatory

- Historically low unemployment (likely from the other factors)

- A very difficult to navigate minimum wage, costs of goods trap; where the dog food store near me is hiring at $15/hr; while a nearby alterations place was looking for a trained head seamstress for $10/hr, and grocery chains and Amazon are offering $30/hr warehouse jobs, while waitresses make $2.25 with little enforcement on tipped wages.
So the one exception that I considered putting in would be cases where the government is the employer and is negotiating with their employees. And yes of course, they will use whatever arguments they can to come out ahead in labor negotiations, like any employer.

I didn't see any mention of calls for workers to accept lower wages in the first article. In the second article, such calls were mentioned but not explicitly referenced or quoted. (Maybe they would be familiar to a British audience.)

But I would say that is different than asking for private sector workers to accept lower wages as an inflation fighting strategy. And note that the actual fiscal policy that the UK has pursued is wage subsidies, as much as 650£ - 1000£ annually it seems. (As described in the second article, not something I'm familiar with beyond that.)
It's always fun having gun nuts pretend to debate in good faith. Thanks
If you want to boycott every corporation that is trying to increase profits, you will lead a highly ascetic life.

That said, what you are saying isn't entirely untrue, and in fact is considered conventional wisdom by many. If everyone was a lot more price sensitive and more willing to forego discretionary spending, then yes, profit margins and prices would probably be lower. When boomers talk about millennials and their avo toast, this is what they are talking about.
You could make the lottery tickets cheaper if you buy early and create a marketplace where you can sell or auction you tickets or winnings. Then they could take a percentage of that and ramp up prices to chase the market.
Weird. Everywhere in the US I’ve lived one must obtain a permit, behind the wheel hours, a driving school (private or public school). Then there is a test for permit, and then another 2 part test before a drivers license is obtained.

I’ve lived all over the US and it appears to me to the be standard. Where have you lived within the US that deviated from this standard?
Not only had the city's name remained Constantinople, Ottoman Empire had seen itself as the successor of Roman Empire too. One of the official titles of Mehmet the Conqueror was "Kaiser-i Rum" (Caesar of Roman). Ottoman Empire even adopted the Roman Empire's "hands-off" governance model at the beginning: mostly dealt with taxes, and refrained from interfering with people's daily lives.

The name "Istanbul" is believed to be a contraction of "Eis tin polin" ("To the inner city") in Greek which was a commonly used term in daily chatter, and possibly adopted literally by Turks.

Not directly but it might cause some upstream vendors and projects to rethink weather they want to recommend Red Hat as preferred platform and if the hosting vendors turn off the Red Hat clones that's going to ripple back to Red Hat, as a lot of corporate linux users will gravitate to the distro that's recommended by the application vendors.

Part of how canonical challenged Red Hat is that they deliberately made it really easy for a developer to run Ubuntu on their workstation and test environments.
I don't share your optimism. English isn't my native tongue, yet I have a clear colloquial understanding of adverse. I don't see a reason why the average person would have a kneejerk reaction towards toxic and wouldn't towards adverse.

> Furthermore the word "adverse" carries a strong connotation of an implied contrast against a benign alternative.

Given the sentiment shared by some commenters here I think it's pretty clear they'd take this as a direct attack on masculinity by people who want to promote femininity.

If you wanna argue that going after cryptocurrency is a bad thing, make that argument. Don't just use the poem to make a lazy slippery slope argument.

And apparently, this isn't even about cryptocurrency but Apple's normal 30% tax. If that's true, then it means that the lazy slippery slope argument is even less applicable.
IIRC the real costs of residential electricity are about half from infrastructure, half from actual energy consumption [1]. If we charged prices proportional to costs, high users would still pay significantly more than average users. The problem is that in many places these costs have been bundled together in a single "per unit" charge that effectively subsidizes the lowest consumers. Changing it so that prices go up at the low end of consumption and go down at the high end of consumption would widely be seen as unfair, so it's politically hard to correct the mis-pricing now that it's ossified into place by tradition.

[1] It's different for big industrial users, like factories operating 24/7; their per-unit costs are dominated by consumption rather than infrastructure. They also get lower prices partially reflecting these lower costs.
My fault. I missed the online qualification and rushed right to part where our tax dollars buy great service and low wait times (and Sat hours). We've only had an online option for about 10 years.
I know nothing, literally nothing, about material engineering, past what I can skim off wikipedia and ingest on cycling websites.

But I always thought composite nonmetal materials are hard to test nondestructively, which is the main limiting factor for their use in aerospace. Metals can be X-rayed to assess their condition, carbon not.

Is that wrong? What am I missing? Just curious.
Huh, this is even more interesting because I always thought that homeless folk gravitate towards city centers and not that urban areas cause homelessness. I'm not looking to contradict you, just saying it's funny how we look at the same things and completely reverse the cause and effects in our heads :)

My thinking is that homeless folks tend to move towards city centers because they are more noticed, have more footfalls go past them and hence is easier for them to get food/change etc. They would not be likely to go to the suburbs because they are harder to get around, there are fewer people around to help, and it's very easy to get the police called on you for loitering around someone's lawn.

Level shifting is trivial though.
Nobody has ever claimed that markets are efficient, so that's a strawman. The supply and demand model states that markets tend toward efficiency. When there is inefficiency, then someone can exploit it for their benefit while bringing the market closer to efficiency.
It comes close, but doesn't fill the niche because according to Red Hat, CentOS Stream should not be used in production. People do and for the most part they have no issues, but as long as the maintainers themselves are telling people not to run it in production, I would never recommend somebody to use it for serious workloads. And if you can't use it for serious workloads, then you should invest your time into a different ecosystem that can be used for serious workloads.
It's a stock photo used on a website, did you expect them to go to the actual laboratory they worked with and take one?

I have no affiliation here, but they even listed the company they used for testing so presumably you could call/email them if you want further confirmation. None of this seems unreasonable to me, and I don't think a stock photo is a gotcha for product quality.

This thing has a big LED matrix display and flexible power input options, it's not exactly the same market as the pico or barebones ESP32 boards. This is much more similar to the microbit, circuit playground or similar getting started in physical computing boards. Out of the box you can do stuff with this board and no other real components.

They're a big deal in industrial/automotive/defense but they don't have a ton of visibility. Perhaps why they'd be interested in more outreach, Atmel and others like STMicro definitely reaped benefits from engaging with hobby/educational users at probably negligible cost. Arduino has also been trying to position themselves as a legitimate friendly platform for industrial automation, so it could be a good match.
Interesting that deep in the settings you can find tolerances or thresholds for so many of these, then.
