Well more concretely, it's that the people paying the cost do not directly reap the benefits of the investment.

A child has extremely high long-term ROI for the economy. But (for good reasons) you can't take out a loan in the name of a future child for a larger house now. Someone (aka) the government needs to be future-sighted enough to make the investment. Unfortunately, governments are run by people who will individually not reap political benefit for good outcomes 30+ years in the future.
It does have some problems. The upper McKenzie River in Oregon is shown as separate drainage since there is a break in the river. There are multiple sections in that area that are separate. Bigger one is that the Columbia River is split at McNary Dam.

I'm not sure what needs to be fixed in OSM.

Maybe it needs to detect dams. Or rivers that don't end in the ocean or endoheric lake.
A big reason for me to start learning Emacs again is due to the inevitable rot of VS Code. I'm even playing around with Neovim a bit.

VS Code is like milk, but with an unknown expiration date. At some point, it will be spoiled by MSFT injecting their marketing garbage into the experience. This will take priority over improving performance and fixing bugs. And they've already added spyware into the software by default.

I've realized I would have been better off just sticking to Emacs/Vim entirely, where I can rely on my tools for decades to come. They're not constantly changing the UI/UX, because the maintainers of those products are actually doing useful work, rather than busy work.

> Hypoglycemia becomes symptomatic long before blood sugar is low enough to result in death or serious debilitation and T1D patients know their symptoms well.

There is a what seems to be a significant number of people who don't "feel their lows."

> Hypoglycemia isn't really much of a problem anymore with current CGMs and pumps.

Current CGM's can still require hours of "warm up", and many current pumps still must be removed for things like swimming so they don't get penetrated with water.

Really awesome work! If the authors happen to drop by, I'd be curious if some of the work in their pipeline might be able to help for other types of GUI applications with Wasm. I'm also very curious to see what role, if any the Wasm engine's performance plays in the overall story, and be able to distill out any key workloads that can help Wasm engines improve.

that is not the main purpose at all

the main purpose is punishment, see: nonviolent drug offenders in prison

one might argue a higher level purpose is to keep "the right people" in prison, where they lose their freedom, sometimes including the freedom to run against, campaign against, and even vote out the politicians keeping them there
In theory, but never in practice.

The big kicker that makes it impractical is that most businesses and government organizations use GMail. There's so much money and power out there that would pressure Google into fixing it immediately. If they seriously tried it would be endless, endless lawsuits about all the lost productivity, valuable company information, etc.

If Google made their intentions clear, I bet it wouldn't stay down for more than 3 days before they relented due to all that pressure.
That's odd, I was definitely able to add a DisplayID 1.3 extension block (128 extra bytes appended) to a CRT monitor's 128-byte EDID data using CRU, then have Windows 11 see those extra resolutions (when the CRT was plugged into a DP-to-VGA adapter). Though I ended up switching to CTA-861 (HDMI extension blocks) with all the HDMI YCbCr/audio nonsense turned off, because 010Editor and edid2json could understand CTA-861 but not DisplayID (though I learned from this article that git://linuxtv.org/edid-decode.git, or https://git.linuxtv.org/edid-decode.git, has better support for EDID standards than the other tools).

Another oddity is that when I run edid-decode on the DisplayID 1.3 file created by CRU, edid-decode reports the block as "Version: 1.2" instead. Wonder what's up with that.
The gist of this is that ff those who are concerned with AGI catastrophe are wrong but try to prevent the perceived looming disaster then they might do bad things. Bad because they caused harm to people by were unnecessary.

I don't think anyone would disagree with that, but the author side-steps the most important dynamic here, which is whether there really are extreme risks from AGI. The closest we see to an argument for why we should share the author's implied assumption that AGI won't be a problem is just flippant remarks by framing those who argue that there are great risk are "believers".

GOOG is approaching its all-time highs today, and up well over 100% over the past five years. In a similar time frame the S&P 500 is up about 50% or so.

I hate Google's tendency to cancel products as much as anyone, but as investments go, that tendency doesn't seem to hurt it.
I drive a crossover myself, but if you do the math, driving a cheap sedan and renting a truck when you need it is often WAY cheaper.

I remember when a neighbor bought a new washer/dryer and gave their old set away to whoever would haul it away. A couple came to get it in one of those huge late-model bro-dozer pickups. This was a ~$60K vehicle. All I could think is that there's NO WAY that couple was ever going to score enough free stuff to make up what they spent on that vehicle.
Works fine on chrome/android
Neither of these are remotely similar to what M$FT is doing here. For one, I don't remember using any device where Google drive is an uninstallable app. Second, on android you can always turn off any notifications from any app. I don't even remember seeing any thread on such google drive notifications, so even it happens it seems very rare. The windows cases are too many and show up here every once in a while with some new obnoxious popup.
Generally plug-in hybrids run off the battery, like an electric car, until they discharge it and need the engine.

This is an apt observation. Anything negative. Even if true. Even if it doesn't reflect on you. They want someone socially aware enough that they can say negative things without saying anything negative. There's a nuance. "I understand where they're coming from. There's definitely situations where that is preferred", translates to "I disagree totally but it's their prerogative so I'm not going to worry myself too much with that decision."

It shows experience with people and ability to read between the lines.
> Isn't McD's fed up with the cost and loss of reputation? They could build their own - high efficiency, high quality, high reliability, low maintenance cost - line of ice cream machines and distribute them to the... over 40.000 McD's franchises worldwide.

That's exactly what this machine is.

The issue is that it's doing something novel--sterilizing the machine while full of liquid--in order to be able to be run by unskilled (read as: super cheap) labor.

The fundamental issue is not that the machine breaks down--that's to be expected in a novel industrial machine.

The problem is that there is no incentive to fix the design of the machine. Taylor gets no extra profit for doing more R&D and fixing the machine--precisely the opposite, in fact, as they get less repair revenue. McDonald's, itself, gets no extra profit for doing more R&D and fixing the machine, either, and would have to spend money on training if they went back to traditional machines.

The total market for these machines is effectively the number of new McDonald's. Call these a $20K machine and McDonalds opens 500 stores per year in the US. That's $10,000,000 in new sales revenue in a year, max. That puts net profit at about $1,000,000 per year (call it 10% of gross revenue--probably optimistic for this kind of machinery)

And now we hit why Taylor certainly isn't jumping to fix this and no competitor really wants into the space. Net profit of $1,000,000 per year gets dwarfed by the service revenue really quickly.

There is literally no incentive for a giant corporation to put anyone competent at the helm. That's a backward understanding of the situation. CEOs don't exist to enrich corporations; corporations exist to enrich CEOs. Anyone who had the power to appoint someone competent has no motivation to do so: they can also appoint their buddies, who can continue to parasitize the effectiveness of the company for their own gain. Why would they make some rando CEO? They literally do not care about the long-term success of the company as a whole, they only care about the portion of it that they can drain of blood in the short-term. Any company with any level of "excess competence" is immediately swarmed by Business Caste parasites (via a takeover or several other means) and that excess competence is drained off into their pockets. In fact laying off support departments and canceling products and reneging on promises is one of the easiest ways to suck out value from the company into the C-layer in the short term. Who cares if the company flounders and fails? They just spread their locust wings and find a new host.

Expanding on that, scrum is a religion. Like many/most religions, it requires faith, and that a lack of faith is singularly responsible for any failure of said belief/religion to deliver its promises.

Kanban (for the definition as I understand it) ditches sprints. There's the backlog, tickets that are ready to be worked on, in progress tickets, and various flavors of "done". It's common for kanban teams to ship directly to production once tasks/stories are merged in.
It's all dependent on performance.
$30/month is actually really low if it works well.

If an employee costs $300k/yr fully loaded, then they only need to save ~15 minutes per month to break even (At $150k/yr per employee, its still breakeven at 1 minute saved per day)

It's not that different to superhuman.com charging $30/mo for an email client.

$30 gets you access to not just email, but docs.
> Apple pisses off web developers who want to turn a browser into an OS with crap like WebUSB? Not seeing a problem.

See, this is the problem. If Apple is going to charge you 30% to use a serialized data cable, they're going to get annihilated legislatively. That's not a choice the market gets to make, it's one market regulators decide on. As we've seen in multiple European countries, Apple doing shitty things is not irrelevant because they get fined for participating in said markets.

Thank god for the Digital Markets Act. Apple can take their performance art and sell it somewhere with proper authoritarianism, like China. Oh wait...
A lot of credit cards offer something like "lost phone protection" whereby you get reimbursed if you lost your phone, but only when you pay the phone bill using that credit card. Such insurance must be expensive and I suppose that's why fees are increasing.
Managers should be predicting and controlling the delivery time by clearing organizational roadblocks and shaping the work to be done, not how it is done.
As you can see clearly from the sibling comments to mine, the problem is not that people don't have the means to have and support children. The problem is that they have a very specific vision for what it's supposed to look like, and that specific vision is extremely unaffordable right now. Various demographic, technological, and financial phenomenon have forced us to a point where the big suburban house, yard, fence, dog, etc. is simply not financially feasible for the bottom 80% of the population.

Instead of realizing you can do more with less, many of these people are delaying or rejecting the family phase of life. There's a certain echo chamber that makes this seem like an inevitable outcome in the developed world, which is of course clearly proven wrong by the fact that people in third world countries are having families and prospering on fractions of the income that these "first world victims" are struggling with.

It's more of an "expectations problem" than any hard and fast financial barrier. People in developed countries simply can't afford to have the life they were expecting to have. Meanwhile, the other half of the world continues putting one foot in front of the other because they never expected it any other way.
But if the files are important enough that you need transactional updates or point-in-time recovery for them, you're stuck with the equivalents of those things anyway, wherever those files end up, plus the extra overhead of coordinating two systems.

I know next to nothing about vision, eyewear, graphic displays, etc. With that being said, is it possible to "correct" a screen for someone with vision problems?

Agreed completely, but I’ll add another point. About 50% of my friends are university+ educated women of different ethnicities, but all living in first world countries. We’re also all in our late 20s or 30s, so it’s becoming a “now or never” kind of dilemma for some of them.

We used to make “oh it’s expensive!” excuse until we started making decent money. Now that excuse doesn’t work, but there has been a significant precedence showing you can have a fulfilling life without having a child. You can have even a better one unless you have psychological attachment to it. I’ve heard my friends getting baby fever here and there, but then quick reality check of how much work it would be reminds them it’s not worth it.

And I completely agree, what’s the point? If you have some sort of spiritual or religious beliefs about life, maybe you can excuse it. But my circles don’t buy into those. We’ve also discussed global depopulation issues on different occasions, and consensus was “well, we didn’t cause this awful environment, so it’s not our problem”. Some sort of game theory problem where if you participate you’re more likely to be screwed unless majority participates. But if you don’t participate, you’re definitely on the winning side.

And another note, my friends in their late 30s/40s who always wanted to have a child have exactly one child for myriad of reasons. And obviously that’s not enough.

Sorry for the rant, but maybe the older generations were a bit more conscious rather than kicking the can down the road.
> I must live in some kind of alternative reality where 80% of teams that I worked with liked Scrum (and I lead tens of teams).

I think it has a lot to do with how good estimates can be, and how much can be shared between the members of the team. The extreme situation where the tasks are all boring/predictable and everyone in the team can do everything probably works well with Agile (or any estimation-based religion, I suppose).

The problem is that in many situations, many tasks are not very predictable (because they involve novelty, risk, exploration, challenge), and not everyone is capable of doing everything. In that case the estimates are a big joke, and Agile is just bullshit.
Good point. Actually I thought a lot about this without any connection to tech. Because I noticed that we (I) am able to discern people from quite some distance and wondered if there's some evolutionary reason for this.
> People are allowed to object to things happening around them

Sure, but when the topic is very involved from the technical and engineering point of view, it's still armchair quarterbacking.

Here's the link to the statement that Diablo Canion is safe from the earthquake point of view [1], and here are the relevant quotes:

As part of its response to the Fukushima event in Japan in 2011, the NRC directed all U.S. commercial nuclear power plants to perform a reassessment of the potential seismic and flooding hazards to their facilities.

The seismic hazard analysis was performed using an NRC-mandated process known as the Senior Seismic Hazard Analysis CommitteeOpens in new Window., or SSHAC. Under the SSHAC process, existing and new seismic information was peer-reviewed and publicly evaluated by leading third-party, independent seismic experts.

The flooding hazard re-evaluation involved the use of the latest NRC guidance and methodologies and independent expertise to determine the maximum potential waves and rainfall that could impact Diablo Canyon. It also examined the plant's ability to withstand storm flooding.

The US also doesn’t have bases in Puerto Rico so I have no idea what that analogy is supposed to do.
What are you talking about? It’s well-known that Apache has a philosophy that every connection should be serviced by its own thread, whereas NGINX is an event driven architecture which means you have a thread-pool: think of it this way it’s like having the same dedicated waiter at a restaurant versus having the first available waiter come service your table or refill your drink, even if that waiter is different each time.

Concerning JWT, I think we were talking past each other as I was referring to a session-less Authentication scheme, which is more or less what you describe.

Finally, there’s no reason why the server can’t render JavaScript as well other parts of the page. In effect, if the server wanted to, it could render of a reactive version or an angular version depending on a variable. Can the client do that?

We've seen this story with all kinds of technologies in the past (Symbian and Blackberry -> iOS and Android. Yahoo and Altavista -> Google. Netscape -> IE, IE -> Chrome. Lotus/WordPerfect -> Word/Excel.)

Most potential users are not actually yet a users of any products in this space.

Also while nobody will just spontaneously switch to an equally good or worse product, transformative improvements can and do happen.

Finally, users can be swayed by discounts and marketing to switch to an equally good or only slighly better product.
Google should change because its traditional primary revenue stream and profit center (i.e., search + ads) runs the risk of being disrupted (into the ground) by AI and chatbots. Why search of for an answer when ChatGPT can give it to you directly, without the overhead?

I tend to stick with the Thiel inspired lens. That is, Google has (had?) a monopoly on search and ads, just about everything is smoke & mirrors to hide that fact. "Look, business is hard. The market for any given product is very competitive. Look at how many business and products bombed for us..." This interpretation makes sense because Google's best & brightest has to know how these sunset episodes upset customers, undermine trust, etc. and yet they continue.

Either Google wants it this way, or they're too thick to change. It's not the latter, is it.
Prisoner's dilemma, got it. Thanks.
