Is feeling secure in retirement not a relevant factor? Is having wealth to do things, even if you don’t exercise that wealth, a completely irrelevant factor? Is leaving generational wealth for your children irrelevant? Let’s say you had to forfeit the houses for some reason (being sued, for example). According to you, owning the houses is an completely irrelevant factor, so I’m safe to assume you would feel totally indifferent to this happening? Somehow, I find it hard to believe that you wouldn’t care about losing your houses. Perhaps it does have some relevance to your life?
> You still need to in to the companion app because the device needs the online backend for computing the render.

Right, but that could be fully in my network if i understand correctly.

> But on iOS you can log in with apple. And there is no need to pair with google calendar if you use the image url feature:

This works, but i'd really like a way to do this without any cloud-y features. As dumb as possible. Especially for low cost devices like this where i'm paranoid of it being "cheap because they sell my data" sort of thing.

> (Even though you can definitely hang my display up on the wall and if you don’t have a socket nearby, you can plug it into a battery pack)

This is exactly what i was hoping for! I don't mind buying the battery pack separately. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't hard wired to a wall plug, etc.

In the future if you could try to allocate space or hooks or anything to support this use case that would be amazing. Ie some little hooks on the back where a user could ziptie a battery back to it would be great!

I think i'm going to give one of these a try. If it works well for my headless use case i'd probably love a handful of these things, they're very close to what i've wanted for years. A lot of little low power displays around the house that work like picture frames. A hybrid to "modern life" and "old life" if you will. I love Eink
interesting. i lack the competence to solder around on a smartphone pcb. would it be sufficient to just poke the hole with a needle or drop a small amount of super glue i/onto it?
Ha, in Kerela, India my backpack fell off my bike, with cash, passport and laptop inside.

2 hours later when I started searching for it, a couple of ex-military dudes found me on the road - they were looking for me all around on their scooter, as they saw the backpack fall from the bike next to the dam they were guarding. Took nothing from it as well. I gave them some cash as a thank you of course.

Rural India seems like a very safe space to loose things in as a lot of people seem to be helpful and not opportunistic.

I guess they might just not be accustomed to european stuff so might not really know what to do with it. Regardless I was extremely grateful to those two guys that saved me a lot of hassle reissuing my passport.
I spent 5 years working on one of these startups. I'm not sure that the highway lane constraint is fundamental to the reality that contech startups tend to fail, but I think the assessment about the hubris of contech startups is fair.

The first lesson to learn is that construction doesn't happen behind a laptop or on a phone. From your user's perspective, time spent fiddling with your app is time not spent on real work. So naturally you focus on selling to the "office workers" who spend more time on planning and administration. The problem with that segment is that the tools they already have are good enough. Construction projects always take far longer and cost far more than expected because of what's happening in the field, not because of what's happening in the office, so software simply isn't a bottleneck in this industry. The fact that your tool was specifically designed for their use case, or has an AR feature that allows them to walk the site virtually, or whatever -- it's cool, and you can get a few sales that way, but it's not going to result in better project economics, so it's not going to revolutionize anything.
Yes, these post-hoc explanations for why someone is successful allow us to indulge in fantasies of success without providing any actionable advice that has actual empirical evidence.
Teaching about religions, is different than teaching that a specific religion is a fact to follow.

The problem is when teaching that immoral acts are 'correct', that they are actually 'moral'. As in 'I was just taught that stoning was a valid response to cheating, hence I can feel moral in stoning someone'.

I think you are wrong that Morality is beyond law. If morality can shift based on how you were raised, and then people do want laws to reflect their morality,
a society can get to a point where stoning is ok with the law, is legal and moral.
EU can very well decide not to allow any product they please.

Page 17 mentions a link and then goes off on a poignant meditation about its likelihood of breaking:

"It feels like I may have just gone ahead and ruined what I am by [dumping this link]. Has all of this writing lost its timelessness, to have this relic here? But maybe this link will never break, maybe it will stay there for all time. Maybe it's me. I'm a relic which is already out of his time in the present age."

The link is now broken. You weren't the relic, _why.
It was very much of a time and place, and obviously people are welcome to take or leave it. I certainly cringe that every language now seems to need its own twee, jokey, book-long tutorial, like Learn You a Haskell for Great Good and Clojure for the Brave and True. But Why’s (Poignant) Guide captured the playfulness and nostalgia for lost time that the Ruby community evoked for a lot of people back then, especially those that had grown up with computers but drifted into enterprise software and watched the joy of technology slowly seep out of their lives. Whether it's a good way to learn Ruby the language, I don't really remember.
I’d bet this is the last we hear of it until the sunset notification.
"The people" are fine with lowering age of retirement, and in general not that interested in rising enough new people to sustain economy and social policies of their countries.
Granted, immigration policies in most of the western countries has been a disaster, but those did not arrive out of nowhere.
It would be great to see discussions and planning on how to shape policies, but this would only hopefully change the reception of immigrants, and not the fact that they're there to stay.
Anytime you think you have a simple explanation for a complex problem it should raise red flags in your head.

Developers absolutely want to build and sell as many homes as possible.

Private enterprise is literally what created all the shelter in the first place. Who else is gonna build shelter? It definitely isn’t gonna be the government…
It's also in large part profit motive. You can bet there are corporations licking their chips at the thought of opening cut-rate schools and raking in the profits. They can also incorporate all sorts of corporate propaganda that their parent companies want them to inject.

The profit motive belongs far far away from education.
It would seem to be the solution to keeping the chargers running?
Here's another case of the mainstream media messing with our heads. Most "climate critics" aren't _denying_ that climate change can happen, the criticism is of our governments' obsession with carbon reduction, and ignoring of "harder problems" such as pollution and microplastics. Within the next 1-3 years I expect us to have developed a human and novel solution to the carbon issues; meanwhile governments want to either guilt us or limit consumption of meat, driving miles to work, and flying, when every time the 400+ attendees to Davos and the WEF are flying private jets. Tired of the government idiocy and elites' hypocrisy over this.
I agree with that. But there’s a limit to how persuasive that is to generations who didn’t make the original decision. I don’t think there’s an easy solution (or any solution).

One thing I notice about European politicians: they all come from the same background, come from the same families, same socioeconomic status, attend the same schools (Eton, Science Poe, etc), take the same jobs.

At the end they all provide the same talking points and try to use the same programs. You can't expect change from the same people who have no idea they are the problem.

And this is why diversity is critical in this era. Those same politicians have been ossified in their thoughts. They trundle out the same centrist playbook that may have worked in 80s 90s 00s. And then are surprised when an extremist trundles them in the elections.
I do know, for a fact, that having a more capable and powerful voice assistant than, the already fairly capable, Siri, will be a game-changer (for me at a bare minimum, but I’m not that special so I think it’s safe to extrapolate that to more people).

That’s a fact.

I also know that voice-interfaces to date have been incredibly stiff and there is ample room for improvement. I know, for a fact, that having AI enable better voice interfaces will make computing better and more accessible. I have a hard time understanding how those are hype-driven comments and/or opinions.

We do know these things for a fact. Not being able to articulate exactly which breakthroughs will be most important doesn’t make it hype.
> the birth of a child doesn't obligate either parent to accommodate the newcomer.

The newcomers were accommodated, just not feted. They have rights, but those don't override the rights of other French citizens and residents.

> When you let immigrants in you acknowledge that you're letting change in.

Sure, if the immigrant has new food, or music, or religion, etc, then they'll provide new choices to their society. Society is under no obligation to take those new choices, and not doing so isn't harming the newcomer.

And this is in the context of maintaining a functioning society. Driving through crosswalks at high speed isn't one of the available choices for anyone.

I'm can't watch these videos, but there's thousands of 1–2.5mm$ homes being built west of Austin, Tx (who's buying them!? I DON'T KNOW!)

I like ti watch these houses go up: the walls & roof trusses are all laminate and come in to the job site in segments. It's takes a crew of 2–4 (depending on the size of the house) about 4 days to assemble the exterior.

The interior is about 50% 'modular', and the rest is traditionally framed. It's pretty insane.
>Parents love to think that because they have had one child (or maybe a couple), they know how to educate children writ large.

They don't care about how to educate children writ large. They care to the extent that they think you are failing their child, specifically. You would do well to remember that as an educator, you have a responsibility to the public. If you really find parents concerns to be beneath your dignity, perhaps you shouldn't be a teacher.

The US was founded on fighting back against being forced to act by others.

Why would making subsets of the population work and rent but not allow them a voice improve anything?

Everything you suggested would result in the current problems getting worse. Land owners don't mind the raising housing prices as long as the taxes don't impact them. Older people got theirs and are fine with policies that lead to younger generations getting screwed.
The "arbitrary long nonce" gets hashed down (using GHASH) to 96 bits.

I mean, sure, if you really want to, you can already do that with the GCM part. I would hesitate to do that to the AES-CBC-MAC part.

Your proposal would then be to dedicate the first 16 bytes (128 bits) to the extension, and the rest to GCM.
I don't think the people has been asked to vote on mass migration. The political elite decided it was good or inevitable and are focusing their energy on making the French live with it.
Pre fabricated assemblies exist all over but are highly constraining if standardized or need to be custom ordered to fit which becomes expensive. You still have to assemble and seal everything on site so you don't necessarily save anything and it limits you in other ways. Building wall assemblies isn't the hard or expensive part of construction.
Got a link to any information on this, especially the collection of the profile information from user's devices? The only reference I can see to PGO on android is the support they have for a more traditional flow (create special instrumented binary, run a 'representative' workload or two, get profile data for PGO). It would be especially interesting if there's any info on how much of a performance improvement this yielded.

"we don't know if that data is actually any good"

We know the data survived a narrative/biological co-evolution distributed process spanning thousands of generations over many millennia. It doesn't make it perfect, but it makes it pretty darn good with high likelihood, especially when compared with narrative complexes invented yesterday, which have yet to withstand the test of time and which show measurable signs of dysfunction.

I like CANDU reactors, but I like pressurized water reactors (PWR) reactors more.

PWR reactors are the majority of the active commercial reactors in the world. The advantages of the CANDU reactors over PWR reactors can be seen as disadvantages, actually.

1. Ability to refuel without stopping the reactor. That's a very convenient feature if you intend to make nuclear bombs. Seen differently, if you want to reduce proliferation risks, PWRs are better.

2. Usage of unenriched uranium. It's not like you just put in the reactor uranium straight out of a mine. You need to process it, if only to clad it in zirconium. You buy the nuclear fuel from approved sources, like Westinghouse. The enriched fuel will be more expensive, but you get more energy out of it. Put it differently, for the same amount of energy PWRs produce less spent fuel than CANDU reactors.

3. Thorium. In principle you can put thorium in a Candu reactor and get uranium-233 which you can then burn to get energy. In practice, this idea was talked about for many decades, but for some reason nobody does it. Including India: they have lots of thorium, lots of Candu reactors, but they don't burn thorium in their Candu reactors. Why? Very likely because of the contamination with uranium-232 which gives strong gamma radiation.

But let's say that you do actually find a way to use thorium to breed U-233. That increases the proliferation risk tremendously. Here's an interesting quote from [1]

The half-lives of the protactinium isotopes work in the favor of potential proliferators. Because protactinium 232 decays faster than protactinium 233, the isotopic purity of protactinium 233 increases as time passes. If it is separated from its uranium decay products a second time, this protactinium will decay to equally pure uranium 233 over the next few months. With careful attention to the relevant radiochemistry, separation of protactinium from the uranium in spent thorium fuel has the potential to generate uranium 233 with very low concentrations of uranium 232—a product suitable for making nuclear weapons.

Your last point about Candu creating lots of jobs: I think a PWR reactor would create exactly the same number of jobs.

And now, the biggest reason in favor of a PWR reactor: all reactors have various feedback effects. Some of these effects are negative, some positive. You want to have more negative feedback effects (i.e. passive safety features) and few positive feedback effects (i.e. possible instability scenarios). PWR reactors are the most stable reactors among the current generation reactors.

Candu reactors have many of the same negative feedback effects as the PWR reactors, but there's an exception: positive void coefficient. The Canadian nuclear regulator is aware, obviously [2], and thinks this is not a biggie. But when you can choose between two designs, one with more passive safety features than the other, why not choose the first?

> rocky New England soil

Even a tiny creature like an ant can dig holes in tough soil. A machine can too as long as it has feedback (ie. it can see the rocks and keep digging around and bashing till it comes lose.)

> non-flat grades

Well you dig it till it is the same shape as the plan...

> water tables

Either lay the concrete underwater (most concrete can be laid underwater) or dewater with a pump on the end of the actuator arm.

All of these problems just lead to increased build time. Obviously your machine is quite expensive - so if it takes 2 extra days of machine time to build a house on a steep grade in rocks, then thats gonna cost more, and at some point might make it not worth it.
Meanwhile, the country of Belize, about 800mi south of LA or TX, has been declared Malaria-Free by the WHO, after a record of zero indigenous cases since 2019 [0],"with rigorous, credible evidence" that the there has been no transmission of malaria within the country for at least three consecutive years.

Have you ever had a conversation with a trans person? Quality of life for trans people that get the privilege of blockers is enormously higher than their counterparts. They've been in use for decades; it's not new.

I cannot imagine a greater horror then having gender dysphoria, knowing exactly what is wrong, and still being forced to go through the wrong puberty (which does inflict irreparable harm, for us) because some "concerned" parents want decades of medical history on blockers before they deign to allow you to receive medical care. I wonder how that medical history is supposed to be built if no one is allowed to take blockers?

I'm not even going to engage with your bad faith argument that trans kids are only in the last 2-3 years.

I'm not under any illusion a person with your opinions could ever be swayed, but hopefully other reasonable people will see this comment and not fall victim to your scare tactics.

Less than 50% doesn’t qualify as most if the statement is about something binary and mutually exclusive.

If more than or equal to 46% qualifies as most, then both the statements would be correct:

(2) Most people do have access to sanitation.

That wouldn’t make logical sense.
