I wonder if the lead acid battery or the lithium battery would be more appropriate to put on the list.

Lead acid got us from, what 1940 to 2005? Something like that? But the utility of Lithium Batteries has blown what was already a gigantic market even wider open.
10 years ago if you made software that uses all kinds of lies and dark patterns to get access to a user's contacts list, uploads it to your server and then you did data mining on it, people would be concerned and consider the software malicious.

Likewise with analytics - tracking every single action you do in an app (along with generic metadata such as IP addresses - which often leaks your general location and your relationship with anyone on the same network since you'd be sharing the IP address with them) would have been considered spyware.

When there were talks of tracking people for ad targeting in the early days of the internet people (rightfully) freaked out, even though that tracking was really primitive by today's standards.

All of those things are now considered legitimate and are routinely done.
Nonsense. You don't order pineapple on your pizza in Italy, you don't leave your dog's shit in your neighbor's yard, and you don't curse when you're trying to convince the investors, boards, and executives – the people with the real power to stop enshittification.

It's just about understanding cultural context in order to legitimatize your point. I feel like Doctorow would have learned that by now.

>If we're talking about toppling the current system, then we have to admit that means losing its positives as well as its negatives.

Except you could have a free (as in freedom) market instead of a free (as in free of costs) market. The former doesn't even look that different to "capitalism" except die hard capitalists would accuse you of artificial redistribution or some other nonsense.

>The alternatives to capitalism aren't just 'avoiding capitalism's problems' -- they've historically also been 'rampant inefficiency to the extent that it decreases standard of living.'

Historically, the best alternative to capitalism has worked pretty well. In fact it worked so well, the capitalists shut it down because they were concerned that unlike the communists, someone actually came up with a competitive and superior system. In fact, the capitalist system at the time generated such a rampant inefficiency and unemployment that a man named Adolf Hitler has risen to power who had to channel that unused output in a war to maintain full employment, because capitalism is a demand starved system and therefore warmongering is a popular remedy.

Meanwhile some dinky little town in Austria "printed" 10000 shilling (about 3 shilling per resident) worth of "labor confirmation vouchers" and solved their problems without war.

The trick? The money forces participants to maintain an equilibrium economy that follows Says Law. Suddenly all the research neoclassical economists made about equilibrium economies becomes applicable. Meanwhile in Capitalism? Capitalism is a disequilibrium economy so why would you expect any of the outcomes that neoclassical economists predict? It's like expecting a car to fly.

Commenting because I am also curious in this.
Sorry, I'm way past the "kubernetes fatigue" point by now.
I think the most efficient way of communicating is about the same whether you're in an office or remote:

- If you have a deep technical problem that you already understand a lot of the context for, and you can explain it like an expert Stack Overflow user, then use writing to ask someone who might be able to help you.

- If you're a newbie to this context, don't know what you're dealing with, and there's no documentation that you can understand, write a much shorter message focusing on the immediate issue and ask if it might be most efficient jump on a call, ideally with screen share.

- If you're somewhere in between, do your best to set up the problem in writing, but don't overthink it or assume too much about what your helper needs to know. Again ask if a call with screen share might be more efficient.

Basically, always use writing to start, but adjust the length of the message based on your ability to set up the problem for your helper. And if it's urgent, hopefully there's some way you can ping or notify the person.

More generally, the more you can predict about how the conversation should go, what details are needed by the other person, the better it is to use writing. The less you can predict, the better it is to use a synchronous medium, such as in-person conversation or a call with screen share.

And if you find yourself always needing synchronous media, I would suggest that you try to do more to retain and document knowledge in writing, so that you're not always going back to square one every time you need to solve a problem. After a few months working in some area, it should be increasingly possible to ask expert questions in writing.

Those things are not the same.

If your only concern is the lead landing in trash uncontrollably, you can solve it by just controlling the trash (we mostly do that already).

Lead has been phased out because of direct contamination and environment contamination. A chemically stable superconductor tape won't be a problem for either of those.

The manufacturing process will probably be much more of a problem, but again, it's a matter of solving that problem.

Yes, it isn't replication, and the only proof that her modified substance does anything interesting is a photo of a single grain suspended inside a small tube. She hasn't written anything clarifying the process from her vague twitter thread, she hasn't posted a video showing the sample's behavior (which would be better than nothing), she hasn't shown any measurements, and when people ask for these things, she gives unconvincing excuses.

And yet every thread is full of people saying she was the first to replicate. The USSR tweets are a little eyerolling but not the main issue
Read a diplomatic dispatch sent by the Romanian ambassador in Athens sometime around 1941-42, maybe 1943, where the Romanian government was informed that Turkey didn’t want to get involved in the war (presumably on the Germans’ side) because Istanbul would have been burned to the ground via aerial bombardments. Back then Istanbul was made up mostly of wood-based buildings.

In the greater NYC area, it's commonplace to have the ETA immediately increase by several minutes (not uncommonly by 50%+) as soon as you're matched with an actual driver.

Based on other comments, it seems this might be a somewhat location-dependent phenomenon.
Yes but some points have priorities:

-- "Every exchange will leave a full track - where, when, what" already should raise a "you'd better be joking".

-- Failsafe fallback: a system depending on running infrastructure (electricity, internet, servers etc.) is badly conceived.

Every two body orbit involves a barycenter that is not exactly in the center of either body (i.e. every planet/sun combo "orbit around one another").

> If you're using a nonstandard Marxist definition of capitalism, then you should point that out because that is not the definition that people typically use.

You bring up two Marxist governments and then get upset when I talk about capitalism as defined by Marxists.

Like I said: you can disagree with Marxism (or its perspective on what capitalism) but to call it akin to "something I don't like" is childish.

> Says the person who brought up their personal economic grievances to this discussion in the first place. I'm not making an attack on communism. I used it as an example of how economic system has zero correlation to climate change.

Yeah, sure. The problem with making any comments on this contrarian stronghold is that some ideologue will take offense to the specific words unless they are surrounded by three paragraphs of expository context.

But in the service of offending your sensibilities slightly less in the future I will reflect on what I could have replaced this part with:

> > and not the economic system itself.

I really should have said:

> > and not the system itself.

There. Still no less true.

That's not how ideological critique works. We're all armchair opiners here.

You're gonna be disappointed if you think your naysayers are going to live out this perverse performative exhibition. And it's even less likely for an ideology that lives in the pre-agricultural revolution past.

That's not because suddenly, everyone will realize that the Linux desktop is wonderful. Sorry, folks, if it hasn't happened by now, it never will.

But there's another way the conventional idea of a Linux desktop could become the top PC-based operating system. That's if its competition ceded the field.

And that's exactly what Microsoft has been doing.

And yet millions of businesses have figured out how to make it work for the last thousand years.

Cashless advocates are always talking about how "expensive" cash is, but never quantify it. Is handling cash more expensive than credit card fees, for example? If it were, businesses like supermarkets that operate on 1-2% margins wouldn't take cash. But they do. Some near me take cash freely, but charge extra to use debit cards. (For some reason, credit cards incur no fee.)

It's like the banks have used fear to institutionalize extortion.

I'm not sure that's unicode's fault. Their goal is to produce a standard for encoding ~all written text. It may seem like this would be something cool to support in your program of choice, but in lots of applications that flexibility leads to vulnerabilities. I think developers need to be aware of these risks and design around them (for example by limiting the allowed characters in certain contexts).

I recall a trip to Austria as a boy in the early nineties and having it related by an Austrian (who dealt with international types/tourists a lot) that the opening of a McDonald's Drive-Thru located somewhat up towards the mountains near Innsbruck had not gone smoothly!

It seems that the locals, being from long established farming stock, were aghast at handing over money before they got their meals from a different window!

Credit cards were barely accepted anywhere either.

Whilst I'm sure the credit card situation has improved markedly since then, maybe a good amount of the spirit behind the drive thru reaction remains?!

Telecom Activists Aren't Impressed by the FCC's 'Nutrition Label' for Broadband
Historically, in high-performance resource-constrained applications (eg: console video games), developers would use a "stripped down" version of C++ (eg: no RAII, no exceptions), which often included avoiding STL. It's less true these days, but still somewhat. In truth, STL will never be fully catering to these uses; that's not its goal.

One reason STL was avoided is that control over memory allocation was quite poor. std::allocator was somewhat conceptually broken for a long time, only recently remedied in C++14 and 17. So, there's still about 20 years of code out there from the days of old bad C++ (:

Another reason is that early STL implementations were poor, and not well-suited to high-performance use cases. Again, this has gotten better (some), but the legacy lives on.

Here's a good one to read: https://github.com/electronicarts/EASTL/blob/master/doc/Desi...

So, if you are designing a library to be used in video games (such as in TFA), and want wide adoption, then avoiding STL, RAII, exceptions is still generally a good idea, IMO.
