>the possible players involved are no longer relevant either.

If the conspiracy was on the part of the spy agencies, as claimed, then the agencies involved are absolutely still relevant. If the CIA or whatever back then was willing to kill someone because he threatened to reduce their power, given the intelligence agencies have even more power now than they did back then there's no reason to think they wouldn't do it again if threatened.
What's an extension school? That part of the article confused me. Is it not a part of Harvard?
I don’t understand why this is being downvoted? Is this a terminology thing? I design my own brushless motor controllers. A brushless motor operates by generating a magnetic field in fixed coils and using that magnetic field to directly act on magnets.

Wikipedia defines magnetic induction thusly: “Electromagnetic or magnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force (emf) across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field.”

So basically using a changing magnetic field to create voltage in a conductor. While it is true that induction occurs in a brushless motor as a secondary effect (the rotating rotor induces back EMF on the stator coils), the primary mechanism of movement is a magnetic field physically acting on permanent magnets - no induction involved.

This is distinct from an AC induction motor, about which Wikipedia says: “An induction motor or asynchronous motor is an AC electric motor in which the electric current in the rotor needed to produce torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding.”

Basically in an induction motor, induction is a required effect for the operation of the motor, rather than a side effect as in a brushless motor.

So while induction occurs in a brushless motor, if induction could be magically disabled the motor would still work. This is not true for an induction motor.

We also need to bear in mind that SaaS vs On Prem also often implies 'subscription' licensing vs perpetual software licensing (one off + support payments).

If a SaaS product is $100k per year (subscription) the equivalent perpetual license cost is probably $200k (one off) + $40k annual maintenance (my very rough rule of thumb after doing lots of tenders - a perpetual license is usually two years of the subscription fee plus 20% of the perpetual license cost as support fees).

It’s the mapping itself that can be composed with transducers. Where before you had pipelines of map/filter/whatever, now you have a single function representing the sequence operations, which can be used for any kind of sequence (a list in memory, or items coming in over a channel or message queue) item by item.
The reason my original argument works and your sarcasm doesn't is that extracting resources from the ground is much easier then putting them back in. Mining is easy - that's why we have gigantic mega mines. Building things from the mined materials is much harder - that's why we don't have anything resembling the same scale of buildings compared to the largest mines.

Well, nothing you say is wrong, and it isn't simply that they are foolish. Hardware companies just can't figure out a way to give us free OS upgrades and make money. They generally stop making money the second the check clears. Apple has that one figured out, the longer you are a customer the more Apple services you buy. Google has a fundamental different model with Android where they are trying to make money and coerce their integrator partners to keep upgrading, but the money is way different.
Zero interest rates. You raise big rounds so now you have to spend it. You raised at crazy valuations so now you need massive ARR and have to enshittify and raise prices.

As TFA says, these companies know that their "all in one" cloud offerings are sticky. My employer just spent the last few years going all in on Microsoft's cloud. We use it for email, productivity suite, Teams, storage.

This was after several years of using Google's tools (though not with the same level of commitment -- we still used Office, and had Exchange and AD on premises). Google jacked their prices for Workplace so that was the motivation to move to Microsoft. I fully expect Microsoft to do the same, in another year or two, but this time around I don't think we'll change -- this time we're too invested, it would be too big a project and have too many ancillary costs.

If we had been more "all in" on Google, we probably would have just paid the increase.

This site is pretty bad. Every prediction is a "doomsday" prediction, and it simply marks them as wrong if the world hasn't ended by the specified date. Example, predicting the Hoover damn (Lake Mead) won't provide electricity if no action is taken. There have been significant efforts at water conservation. So now it's a "missed" prediction. Or predictions that X could happen in as little as Y years, establishing a lower bound. Y years passed, we'll call it missed.

It would be interesting to see a meta-analysis of predictions and how accurate they turned out to be, but that isn't what this site is.

2) by the article it seems like the oceans will always increase in salinity. What is that rate of increase? Then run that model backwards was there a time when salt content was low enough for ocean water to be potable ?

They’re even more locked into cloud now than it seems because not only have they shut down their in house ops but they’ve lost the skills and the work force.

Now SaaS and cloud is free to squeeze as hard as they want. The lock in is strong.

Saw this coming miles away. Nobody listened of course. This industry worships fads. When the buzz becomes “everyone is doing X” it becomes truly hard not to do it too. All your bosses, employees, investors, etc push for it.

'Absolutely' is strongly affirmative wording. I'd say it's fraudulent even from an engineer deeply familiar with the level of effort. Language matters and executives should know better.

I know from personal experience it's hard to avoid speaking too quickly, yet it's also important to self correct in the moment. Otherwise why have such people on a call if they cannot communicate accurately and won't even admit when they misspeak?
> SaaS prices have nothing to do with input costs

Price always has nothing to do with input costs. That is not unique to SaaS.
The main points around "lab ground food" are IMO:

- on the long run being able to produce food regardless of exterior climate condition witch might be need both to ensure having food in a changed climate and geopolitical conditions and also for space exploration and to have room for more humans on Earth;

- in the medium run being able to cut out ANY small/medium food production making such productions an industrial-only game for big & powerful, a good move for them to ensure anyone dependent on them, since we can't live without food;

- in the short term a way to make money selling smoke.

While I'm VERY interesting in the idea of being able to produce food in an artificial environment both for living on Earth and space exploration I'm far LESS interesting in being TOTALLY dependent on large industrial power for food. I know we can't live in the modern word like in the past, and I do not want to live in middle-age like condition, but being able to source SOME food in nature and from small productions meaning still have a small freedom, something VERY valuable. And well, I'm definitively not in food startup business so not interested to see public money handed over private hand selling smoke for roast.

It's also "what else have we promised that I'll have to deliver but don't know about?" and "what else will the executive promise before this ships?"

Those are the real morale killers - knowing that you might need to start stressing and crunching at any moment, and that the roadmaps you have aren't real. Nor are your commitments to anyone working in the company if you get pulled off your planned work to service a white lie. They just complicate everything.

An executive lying to customers is a huge liability. I won't take an ethical stance on it, but in a business sense, the lies incur a debt that must be paid.
Don't worry. The nice thing about all this climate change is that total economic collapse will stop it in its tracks.

The goals look quite similar to my hyperbezier explorations. There's an online demo of the first draft[1], and a Zulip thread on some progress toward a second draft[2]. The tl;dr is that I think I have the mathematics of the curve family, but I haven't finished the mapping between control points and the parameters of the curve family.

Both drafts have (exact) Euler spirals inside their parameter space, and thus circular arcs as well. I think that's a good criterion for a Bézier successor.

It's on the back burner for now, but I hope to get back to it, and am open to collaboration.

> seen enough things to know what the right solution is in many cases

When dealing with uncertainty (nearly always) it's generally easier to identify and rule out what 'wrong' solutions are. There are often multiple obviously 'wrong' options (no, we should not keep a user's password in plaintext, even if the goal is to make it easy to recover a lost password), but picking a 'right' one... from a whittled down list, it may often come down to familiarity or convention rather than an arbitrary "this is the only 100% correct solution".
> should have little impact on society as it is now

If a US clandestine institution actually did this, and that institution still exists, then the news should have _massive_ impact on society as it is now. If anyone still involved is living, or if anyone involved with a cover up is currently employed, we have should expect unusually massive impacts.
Thank you so much for the elaboration, I really appreciate it.
I can't downvote, but might have as the first sentence is an over-simplication and misunderstanding -- particularly as laziness for collections has always been available in clojure.core. Clojure transducers offer an optimization orthogonal to collections best summed above with: "transducers allow you to define steps in collection processing _per item_ rather than having collection processing as a series of transformations of collections". Yes, transducers can be viewed as somewhat of an analog to the Haskell conduit library (as discussed here several years ago: https://hypirion.com/musings/haskell-transducers). However, I think the detractors coming from strongly typed languages are decidedly missing much of the generalization of the transducer model, particularly those conflating transducers exclusively with streams.
It is funny, but in one company I was working for, the more people they added the more they neglected all basics, such as backups. There were heavy processes for many things and they were followed very well, but for whatever reasons some really basic things went unnoticed for many years.

This is one of the best sales pitches for the metric system that I've ever seen.
Changing config files is tricky (this wouldn't work as written for me because like many many people, I keep my emacs init in ~/.emacs.d/init.el instead of ~/.emacs). Why not do something like this?

(eval (car
(read-from-string
(format "(progn %s)"
(shell-command-to-string "/path/to/erlmacs elisp")))))

Change erlmacs to just emit the elisp when you call it with 'elisp', then add the above snippet to your emacs init (or provide this setup as a elpa package).

Pro: you won't have to remember to call `erlmacs install` again when you periodically do `asdf install erlang latest`. Con: the version of erlang that gets `(erlang-start)` called is determined by your environment / the nearest .tool-versions file when you first invoke emacs.

No, it just feels like the right thing to do, and I'm hoping that others could benefit from the work. While I would like to release some libraries under permissive licenses, I really have no plans to shepherd collaborative open source projects (which I think might turn into a huge time sink). Others would obviously be welcome to fork and maintain these projects, but I would prefer for them to simply be read-only versions of what we're using in production.

They were in a situation where they were incrementally rolling out, but the code had a logic bug where the failure of one install within an incremental rollout step bankrupted the company.

I’d guard against this with runtime checks that the software version (e.g. git sha) matches, and also add fault injection into tests that invoke the software rollout infrastructure.
