> If AWS bought it for the product, what reason would there ever be to stop the current business model entirely rather than leaving it on its current trajectory for a few months, untill said "needs" are addressed?

That’s an easy one: if it’s burning money like crazy on its current hosting, but only because of rents extracted by one of their competitors, not for any inherent OpEx-intensity; and that therefore Amazon expects it to be profitable when moved to live rent-free on their hosting.

If I was in a superficial relationship like the ones profiled and I found out my girlfriend had hired such a service, that seems like pretty good grounds for ending it.

Re responding, I think many would respond out of curiosity about what was going on, as opposed to intent to have a real physical relationship. I can in particular imagine assuming this is a scam and wanting to mess with the scammers a bit. I get random messages from "beautiful women" that I assume are scammers, maybe my loyalty is being tested...
Would you say that people categorically shouldn't be allowed to tinker with their cars, lawnmowers or other gasoline powered devices?

Gasoline is WAY more energy dense, WAY more likely to cause a fire, WAY more likely to spread a fire by virtue of being a liquid, needs specialized firefighting training and equipment, and causes cancer even when it isn't on fire.

Most people don't particularly care if their neighbor has 165 kilowatts of gasoline sitting around (5 gallons). I don't know if that is because we have been conditioned to ignore the dangers of gasoline and gasoline powered devices, or if we are overreacting to the dangers of Lithium batteries. Just for reference most electric cars do not have 165 killowatts of storage.

The reality is that battery packs aren't often "repaired". Good practice dictates that you really want all of your cells to match in terms of age and usage. Cells normally need to be welded together by a single purpose battery welder, so if you are hand-building a battery pack you have invested significantly into the equipment and know-how. Home repairs of "batteries" likely are just dismantling the casing, removing the packed cells, and putting in a new cell pack.
This is a better philosophical test than the trolly problem.

> Hey we can't pay workers $250/hr without raises prices to above what customers are willing to pay

There are restaurants that charge north of 800$ per person which are always fully booked half a year in advance with glowing reviews even from the worst critics hellbent on being negative.

You certainly can pay workers $250 an hour without raising prices above what customers are willing to pay depending on the product. Of cause that's not the case at those restaurants, the workers make closer to $30 bucks an hour and the money goes to the owner/investors. Imagining a restaurant with that kind of success where the owners and investors are the workers is a nice thought.

I know of one of these restaurants that always top the list of best restaurant in the world basically gave their main dish washing guy a small owning stake because the owner/chefs like him, and he's now making way more than just $250 an hour washing the dishes. But that is of cause just a case of the rich throwing leftover bones to the dogs eating scraps at the table for shits and giggles, not a case where workers owning a restaurant leads to a fair distribution of the profits for all of them.
Are any of Buffet's investments a while-label of some other product?

The moat is more likely the company that is being white-labelled, as the others cannot exist without it. So I would posit that any white-label SaaS has no possibility to have a moat. It will never reach the level where it matters, and by definition, their product is easily reproducible by another getting the same white-label deal.

My understanding of Buffet's strategy is that he invests in supply chain choke points and brands that people love and are likely never to go away, not "moats". He also doesn't really do tech investments afaik
Can't read that tweet cosTwitter is crapping out with GraphQL errors, but co-ops are an old and successful model of business ownership. They've lasted centuries. Co-ops run successful banks, manufacturers, industrial farms and food processing. And yes, restaurants and cafes.

A few people already mentioned video magnifiers, which are basically a screen with a camera to magnify stuff like books, letters, pillboxes, ... [1]

My grandmother had a professional video magnifier and it helped her greatly to deal with her macular degeneration and allowed her to read and write letters or fill forms, so that should cover the quizzes. She used it about an hour per day and handled it surprisingly well given that she'd avoid most technology, e.g. handling a tablet would have been unthinkable for her.

Prices for new video magnifiers are in the thousands, but used ones are often available cheaply on ebay, and some health providers may cover part or all of the cost as well. You can also try to build your own, like my simple Raspberry Pi based approach [2]. The documentation is a bit old, it lacks the new autofocus camera and a basic text-to-speech implementation.

Other alternatives are tablets / phones with the accessibility features as mentioned by others, or bigger arm-mounted magnifying glasses that are used e.g. in nail studios.

Usually local or national organisations for visually impaired can give concrete advice, and some bigger events have a good overview of the overall space of assistive aid (e.g. in Germany [3], UK [4]).

And to repeat others, there are some good treatments available to slow the decay under certain conditions.

I had read good things about PopOS, but it would not install. I liked ElementaryOS and found the UI more beautiful than MacOS, but something important didn't function (I've forgotten what it was). Congrats to the developers and designers of Linux desktop environments (ElementaryOS, KDE and Gnome) for having the best looking GUIs without losing clarity and usability. They are superior to anything from Apple, Microsoft or Google. Unfortunately it seems that "the rest of Linux" hates GUIs and GUI-workflows.

You're taking a specific example using React and generalizing it to the entirety of FE development. React works in such a way that it's easy to optimize individual components, but extremely difficult to optimize the entire system. Most FE frameworks, libraries, languages, and environments don't work that way.

I will grant you one thing: on the backend, you can use whatever languages and operating systems you want. On the frontend, you're pretty much stuck with javascript and the browser (css, DOM, event handlers, etc).
I used to think it'd be easier to just not support Macs at all for most smaller tech companies, and after reading this, I still think that.

Apple has not changed its policy in over a decade: they don't care about software devs, they don't want you to release your stuff there, and only the biggest companies who are willing to throw dev after dev at the problem get to participate in the walled garden.

Screw 'em, release your software on Windows and Linux and don't look back.

> DDR4 RAM is around $1.20/GB. Four hours of engineering time (very roughly $1000) buys either 800 GB of RAM or 12 TB of storage.

$1000 doesn't buy you 800GB more of the RAM that your server likely takes, which is likely to run $3-6/GB ($3 for uncertified, $6 for motherboard manufacturer certified RAM), plus $0.50-$1/GB for the DIMM slots over and above your baseline RAM config.

It can still sometimes be smart to "throw hardware at it", but I don't think you can go from 128 GB of RAM today to 1 TB of RAM tomorrow for $1K in most cases.

Yes, and the article quotes people that are really only talking about L3, even though they use the word "L4".

One of the defining features of L4 as everyone else uses that term is that you are not required to take over, even in emergencies. L4 capabilities don't prevent you from voluntarily taking over, it's simply not required that you be able to in order to operate the ODD. Both Cruise and Waymo operate test fleets with drivers who can take over, incidentally.

You are right, but there is more to it.

Judges typically consider matters of law. Usually “reasonable” is a cue that you are discussing a matter of fact, which is the province of the jury.

Sometimes you will have something called a bench trial, where it is agreed that the judge will also serve the role of the fact finder, and there will be no jury.

I wonder what types of photos the testers use. Are they making it appear that they're very attractive, and are interested in their target? If so, they could generate false positives — they would flag someone as a potential cheater because he/she would cheat if approached by a much more attractive person (which would likely never happen in the real world). To refine the testing process, it would be a good idea to use a tester whose photos are roughly the same level of attractiveness as the target.

In the case of Magic the Gathering in the 90's (the early days of MTG), Wizards of the Coast released a print run of cards the "Chronicles" set which contained reprints of cards from the earliest days of the game.

This caused a large controversy because the chronicles print run was massively larger than earlier print runs and suddenly there was an influx of cards in circulation where previously due to the limited print runs of the early sets these cards were exceptionally rare. This tanked the value of the secondary card market.

Due to the bad PR and negative attention this caused at the time WotC ended up publishing "The Reserved list" a list containing around 550 cards which they guarantee will never be reprinted.

This means for an iconic MTG card like "Black Lotus" there is a limited number of these cards in circulation and no new Black Lotuses will ever be printed.

The reserved list somewhat mollified the people that were baying for Wotc's blood at the time but now 30 years later it is more or less regarded as a mistake. There are a lot of armchair lawyers etc speculating on if they could ever renege on the reserve list and if it even represents an enforceable contract. WotC have basically refused to comment (possibly lawyers have told them not too).
It feels like that's no longer possible. The gap is much wider than it was historically.

Great find. People who like this might also like http://incredible.pm/ .

I don't know how I feel about the message "This is optimal!" displaying when you use one NAND gate to build an inverter at level 2. Level 1 forces you to build an NAND gate out of (1) an AND gate, plus (2) an inverter. It feels like it'd be more optimal to just reuse that inverter.

(And then level 3 is an AND gate, the other primitive† you started with...)

† Technically, you start with two primitives, implementing f(a, b) = a ∧ b and g(a,b) = ¬(b ⟶ a). You also get the ability to provide 0 and 1 as fixed inputs, thus ¬a ≡ g(a,1). What you lose after implementing the NAND gate is the ability to provide a fixed 1 input - instead, you are informed that you assume all gates automatically draw from this. Worst of all possible worlds.
