That approach destroys and rebuilds the entire DOM on every render. This would not work for large compound components and apps.
The biggest near future tech for superconductors: fusion power.

One huge area of exploration for fusion power is tokamok reactor design, which requires a very strong magnetic field to confine plasma within a round shape - typically a torus, though I think I read of one spherical shell.

I suppose these don't necessarily need room temperature super conductors, but cheaper and easier to manufacture superconducting materials to use as the magnets could make a huge difference. And I do wonder if allowing higher temperatures could aid in the operability of these future devices.

https://spectrum.ieee.org/fusion-2662267312 is one I read about recently, using YBaCuO as the superconducting electromagnet. Definitely sounds bottlenecked on production of it.

Fusion power, as any energy source that massively increases the amount of energy humans can harness, could be planet changing.

> Come to think of it... what the heck is it about these FAANG companies?

Mostly: hiring people for perceived "talent" over actual engineering skills (especially engineering soft skills.)

Imagine interviewers highlighting someone's CV because they've won Putnam math competitions, while round-filing some other CVs because "they write Haskell/Erlang/Rust/etc on some hobby project, and so they might try to push for it at work and then burn out when they find out we won't do it here."

Now imagine the people hired by a process like that, going on to hire other people, and so on.

> I bet I'm just meeting the duds.

That too. In a big org, nobody with "real shit to do" is going to spend time interviewing. They're going to push that off on someone whose time can be wasted. Which means company culture gets decided by a bunch of people whose time isn't worth anything...

We have seen it play out, but there is a difference this time.

Because kick is backed by crypto gambling, it is arguable that it is straight up profitable for them to do with because of the gambling conversions.

Its a completely different ball game if you can get thousands of dollars from a converted user, as opposed to monetizing on ads.

Well I quoted a Harvard review of a Swedish study, and yours is an Iranian study that seems to have no peer review. Also your metastudy uh, agrees with mine:

> The last critics would be that full decriminalization has not resulted in reduced trafficking victimization, but led to growth trafficking inflows

> Lastly, I'm just more inclined to listen to sex workers and trafficking victims about what they would help than to look at descriptive statistics.

Have you.. talked to any trafficking victims? Any sex workers? And, why do you think a sex worker has the ability to write prescriptive legal policy? Drug addicts would like drugs to be legal, oil barons would like there to be no natural protection laws, prostitutes would like prostitution to be legal.

And what do you think has changed about sex trafficking and prostitution in 11 years?

> Fourth, once you've prohibited something, it's next to impossible to intervene to make that market safer.

Right because you squash the market. Decriminalization of drugs failed because the count of addicts soared and so did ODs. You have less sex trafficking when it is riskier to engage in any prostitution. This isn't rocket science. Arguing your trafficking victims should get better health care is worse than just having meaningfully less trafficking victims.

> Also, cement is not very sustainable because of CO2 emissions.

Agreed that cement is a CO2 issue, but I think the overall environmental savings of not having to refine and transport lithium far outweighs the cost of the cement

Also the cement batteries are *very* simple to construct; it only takes a 4th grade education and can be made from locally sourced materials
I don’t think this would be zero-loss diodes - it would probably superconduct in some x-axis while being non-superconducting in the y- and z-axis. Even then, it’s not clear to me what the conductivity is like in the non-superconducting axies.

> But, it certainly sounds odd that there's a separate low-voltage battery in addition to the main battery.

That's normal. It's good to have a low voltage system to run all the regular electronics around the car that you don't need to expose to high voltage. And to operate things like the contactors for the traction battery.
Thanks, that analysis was worth adding. You're saying 2 years, I've heard other people say they would maybe consider relying on this in 5. It's really dependent on the software you work on.

So an estimate of around 20 years from the time people started using things like variables and nesting to improve writing CSS to being able to actually write real CSS using those features and actually being able to count on broad browser support.

Then I think about things like JavaScript modules, and how completely fucked up that entire ecosystem is for so many reasons.

And then condescending comments in the parent like "I think they just don't understand what can be done with just HTML/CSS these days, they're so used to complexity" - people who have clearly never worked in front-end development as their day job. It's insulting and reductive.

I am glad that this stuff made it into the spec, and I know that over the next 5 years, things like native CSS variables and nesting will become more common until Sass/PostCSS is scarce, but they will probably still be being used inside of abstractions like SPA frameworks. And all of the JavaScript will unfortunately probably be written in TypeScript.

To me, the holy grail end game of front-end development is the elimination of a build step. And for that to happen before I hit retirement we have to find some way of decreasing the lead time of innovation -> spec implementation -> browser support from 20 years to < 5 years. Obviously, browsers becoming evergreen and Internet Explorer finally dying will help. Already, simpler tooling is becoming more prominent than the dark days of Webpack. But there's still a long, long way to go. This is all assuming Google doesn't finally figure out a way to destroy the open web all together before this happens.
> I would predict rest of the world will move to an American model, based on lowering fertility rates and demand from people who cannot afford to pay for healthcare exceeding supply of healthcare.

The US pays more per capita for healthcare than most of europe. Why do you believe that lowering fertility rates—leading presumably to an increase in the proportion of the population needing access to healthcare due to age, and a similar decrease in the amount of tax payers—would lead to a shift towards a US-model that costs more overall?
> So I don't see how a remotely immersive experience can happen even at the $1k price point.

I strongly feel that you need to actually try modern VR for more than a few minutes. Is it perfect? Far from it. There are many problems, specifically that VR’s main form factors are too intimidating for most adults to even try. Is it immersive? Yes, a lot of apps and games are

I’m just glad Tim forced Apple to finally join the market. Otherwise, there would be VR winter for about a decade due to the mass public perception of VR and the fact that the most engaged VR users can’t even drive yet.
I took down the production environment once with killall. The conversation explaining to management about why I ran something called "killall" and didn't expect it to kill all was very tense.

Why Sales Engineers Exist
My understanding is that is what developer mode allows you to do - treat a Chromebook as a regular laptop, install any Linux distro you wish to.

ChromeOS isn't a general purpose Linux distro, so in order to actually run a lot of things you'd need to install all their dependencies anyways.
>That's insane for a company the size of Microsoft.

Why? Why does company size have anything at all to do with the security of their product?

Microsoft has been making shoddy, horribly insecure products for decades now. Do you need me to list all the email viruses and other such things that were running rampant in the 90s and 2000s?

What's truly insane is that people keep expecting Microsoft to do better, and then being disappointed when they don't. The common saying is "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result", and that's exactly what most people do in regards to Microsoft and product quality or security.
These things often have very sad ends for at least one party.

The ability of the land registry insurance funds (assuming they have one) to "refund" lost money is limited and the get out clauses are huge. Basically you can be bankrupted taking "the authority" to law to recover, if they don't cough up. They cough up to preserve integrity in the system. But between the registry/titles-office, the lawyers, the crook who vamoosed the money, the original land owner, the buyers. and the builders its a black hole of blame fingers.

In analogous cases in Australia (torrens title lands registry) there is often somebody left holding the baby (unable to recover their money from the crook, even when the crook is found)

I'm waiting for somebody to throw "solved by blockchain" into this thread. (hint: it isn't, because the crime happens in the real world, not inside hypothesised registries. the real world has processes which break down)
The tip I've seen for CM4s is digi-key will accept backorders. I got mine after six months, but that was also a few months ago, so I don't know how it is now.
You haven't worked at a tech company then.

There's plenty of Microsoft out there, but there's an entire, thriving universe where Microsoft is completely irrelevant.
On the terminal, I use `qalc`[1]. It's a nice natural language calculator that does arithmetic, solves quadratic equations/linear systems, does unit conversions and even a bit of calculus. Combine it with a cli graphing tool and you can do pretty cool things.

Anything more complicated I'm probably ok with latency, so I open up wolframalpha and enter it there, again, in natural language.

There's still annual security training, but it's tapas-model. So basically you have to take N courses by <date>. If you're interested in lockpicking, but your job is in the cloud, you could still meet the requirement by watching a video about lockpicking. (If such a video was offered.) No one follows up, except to ensure that you took enough courses by the given date.

Note: My time at this company overlapped heavily with Covid WFH, so things may have been looser/weirder than normal.

And regarding threat modelling: I literally have no idea; I was just an IC. All I know is, there were several occasions where delivery cadence was selected for, and in my opinion, on at least some of those occasions, security should have been selected for instead.

One charitable explanation is that they'd just threat-modelled my part of the product and decided there weren't any threats there, so there was no need to ease up on the gas pedal. But some threats are subtle, and where you least expect them.
In that case you will want to know that the front windows are laminated glass and the hammer won't do anything but spiderweb them. If you have to escape and breaking glass is your only option, you're going to need to climb into the back seat and break the rear windows.

This is really information that everyone should be aware of, because a fairly substantial number of modern cars use laminated side glass for the front positions. Including the most popular vehicle in America.
>Each team (pm/test/dev) were responsible for building the threat model themselves, but the threat model was reviewed by another security team.

That still happens.

>Is annual security training still a thing?

Yes it is.

How about "fuck them"? Sounds like a much more reasonable outcome to me.

Sex trafficking is defined as sex work. There isn't a legal difference. That's why they're saying it.
You think having consumer credit card numbers in the database somehow is a big enough motivation to keep better security.

There are many chemistries for batteries. We're even seeing some of them pushed to commercialization. Chemistries based on common elements like sodium or iron would evade concerns about material availability.

There are thermal storage technologies. An example is pumped thermal storage. This involves (1) adiabatically compressing argon, (2) transferring heat from the compressed argon to a hot store (say, molten "solar salt", a potassium/sodium nitrate salt mix) by a countercurrent heat exchanger, (3) expanding the cooled argon back to the initial pressure, (4) using that now cold argon to extract heat from a "cold store", say liquid hexane, cooling it to -100 C. To discharge, reverse this process. Round trip efficiencies similar to pumped hydro could be achieved. The high temperature side of this process is within the creep range of ordinary steel, so no exotic materials are required.

Resistively heated thermal stores would not be quite as efficient (maybe in the low 50s%) and involve higher temperature (~1200 C), but could work with existing gas turbines. Babcock and Wilcox are commercializing this now, using their very nifty direct contact sand/gas fluidized bed heat exchanger. The storage medium here would be ordinary sand, of which there is an unlimited supply.

This last approach also allows an external heat source, such as hydrogen combustion, to act as a backup heat source. So if your thermal stores run out, you can keep running them by burning hydrogen (or some other e-fuel). The marginal capital cost of this capability would be very low, just that of adding a fluidized bed hydrogen combustor to heat the sand.
I think the part about the misalignment between the individual and the collective is basically wrong.

In the given game, the collective loses money just as the individual does. The collective wealth is the summation of the individuals' wealths, and both the collective and individual wealths drop over time. Write a simulation and try it if you don't believe me. I did, because I couldn't work out how the collective wealth could grow while the individual wealths drop, and the answer is that it does not.

The only way it looks like the collective makes a gain is if you try to say that x_i(t) = x_i(t-1)*1.05, but that's a simplification that doesn't hold in either the individual or the collective case.

But if you forget the part about the supposed misalignment between individual and collective, then the idea that the expected value of 1 iteration can be positive while the expected value of repeated iteration can be negative is very fascinating!

Listening to the cybersecurity person interviewed here play down the significance, one is left to possibly believe cybersecurity folks rely on Microsoft to keep them employed.

According to this podcast, the only reason the government discovered this breach is because they were paying Microsoft for the "privilege" to see who was accessing their email. Most customers were not paying thus would never have discovered similar unwanted access.

If charging for this transparency is a "business model", as the podcast suggests, and there were only a relatively small number of "customers", it really makes one wonder. How much money were they making from this "business model".
> Why? Why does company size have anything at all to do with the security of their product?

Because they have a massive security team. Size has a lot to do with security.

> What's truly insane is that people keep expecting Microsoft to do better, and then being disappointed when they don't.

Microsoft has done a ton of impressive security work when it comes to Windows, they've really stepped up their game. They've invested quite heavily.
If it makes a difference, both me and my parents and my siblings voted labour. And we all regret it. My friends still in NZ voted labour and regret it. Housing it just 1 issue.

(ex-Meta person who came in via the CTRL acquisition, and quit back in Dec 2022)

It’s still going! CTRL labs has received a ton of internal resources, and scaled up significantly the 3.5 years I was there. Almost all of that effort is going towards stamping out edge failure cases on the path to making a reliable consumer product.

Consider: What works well for an onstage demo or a store demo you store needs a lot of “last mile” work so that a naive consumer can take it out of a box at home and have it work flawlessly. This is especially true for a new product category. I doubt it will be in the wild until it’s rock solid. There was incredible improvements while I was there, but keep in mind it’s an entire new product category, and so it’s not worth the risk of shipping early and imperfect.
>Neither is true. If—and given the history of such episodes, that’s a big if—journals end up retracting the three papers Tessier-Lavigne has said he has agreed to retract (two in Science and one in Cell), the number will represent less than a tenth of a percent of the retractions we expect to see this year. We at Retraction Watch, which tracks retracted papers, estimate that figure to be about 5,000—a tiny fraction of how many retractions should happen but don’t. And the careers of most researchers whose names are on the retractions that do happen haven’t suffered a scratch. The ones whose papers haven’t been retracted have even fewer worries.

I don't get it. They're just declaring that there should be 5000 retractions, and because only a tiny fraction of that actually ends up being retracted, that science doesn't correct itself? Where did this number come from? Is it just a list of studies with sus numbers? I feel like the authors (founders of retraction watch) is doing a massive disservice to their cause by casually skipping over this.
