It isn't just that businesses aren't paying enough (though I am sure that contributes) is that increasingly we are beholden to large entities and systems to which individuals are just fucking gnats and beneath the notice of.

As an example I've had issues where I've ordered groceries delivered online and had the driver tell us that they won't deliver to us because there isn't parking at our apartment, and I've left the apartment ten minutes later and seen their delivery truck parked literally a one minute walk up the block. We called and complained, and we got a voucher we can use to get some amount off of our next order. Sure. Ok. But now we are still without our groceries.

The thing is the person we were complaining to was front desk call center staff for a large supermarket chain. They have absolutely no ability to do anything to help us in a meaningful way. They do not have permission to tell the delivery driver to cross the fucking street, or to talk to the deliverer's manager, or anything like that. They literally cannot actually solve my problem.

Same with making a doctors appointment. It's now done by software, which helps things scale but when it goes wrong none of the people you personally are interacting with are likely to be able to fix themselves.

This is still ultimately the result of business squeezing every red cent they can out of every link in the chain, which leaves things brittle as hell/designed to work at scale but not necessarily be able to accommodate things even slightly out of the ordinary.
And pay to groom themselves.
Yes, exactly, you are talking about a coherent bass tone (sine/cosine) for which the window happens to be resonant. This energy can be extracted of course.

Thermal noise is not a tone, though.
Government shutdowns aren't so much about funding as they are creating a situation where banks can acquire money from the government.

Government issues bonds at 4-7% that mature in 1-7 days and sells them to a select group of banks who make out like robbers every time it happens.

So on one hand, understanding that makes it all far simpler, but on the other, it's horrendously corrupt.

I think Friends showed us what we most deeply desire - a life without concern for work where we spend most of our time with our loved ones at a Third Place away from home and work. I agree it is not literally realistic, but it could be viewed as aspirational.

Youtuber Andrewism made an excellent video about the Third Place last week that explains what various thinkers have written about these places, and considers how we might bring them back:

I’ve noticed myself falling into this more and more regularly. I’m shifting responsibility a little, but I think the internet makes this more difficult because everyone’s opinion is so public. I find myself reading what others have to say about everything I consume, be it books, movies, music, etc, and I think it impacts my feelings about that thing more than it should. How does one battle that practically?

I can recommend the book "Learned Optimism" by Martin Seligman, maybe you can benefit from it. It definitely helped me work through feelings like this.

> being objectively inferior, in basically every way

Maybe one reason that you feel like there is a big issue to deal with, is the way you're framing this. In your framing, the scope of your conclusion goes quite a bit beyond what you can actually logically deduce from the available information.

If we look at the facts, we have 152 interns who had resume and interview skills that were objectively more suited to landing an internship at Jane Street than your resume and interview skills are (presumably - it doesn't sound like you've tried, so we're not actually sure). These people have probably been preparing for this for a while, and while there is a degree of objectivity to the way Jane Street looks at incoming profiles, it's along very specific axes (probability of success in their fintech firm), and it's not perfectly objective. You're massively overstating the scope of this, they don't measure superiority/inferiority along all possible axes.

Then you might counter - no, it's not only about resume and interview skills: clearly the 3 projects described on this page are beyond what I could do as an intern, and maybe even beyond what I can do after a few years of working experience. That would be a fair point - but note that these are 3 out of 152 projects, selected to impress and inspire outsiders, and you don't know how much guidance these interns got from more experienced folks while working on this either. On top of that, many of these interns may have been actively programming since they're 10, so effectively they might have double the programming experience you have - in which case their results make perfect sense, and you just need more time to polish your skills. So extrapolating what you see here to the full set of projects and drawing far reaching conclusions about the interns based on this small sample is probably not justified.

I'm sure that these Jane Street folks are generally very good at what they do and that it would be inspiring to see them work. But I think you can give yourself more credit and spend a little bit of effort focusing on things that you're good at that aren't measured in Jane Street interviews, because it's likely that on those axes you'd generally compare favorably to most of the cohort.
Maybe.

It's just that if CFS doesn't point to something real, then that non-real, non-specific thing, having an origin doesn't really make sense.

But if it is actually real (and specific), as indicated by another commenter, the origin seems fine. Still seems like there's mixed views in medical community though.

Counter-point: you don't need local-first because you're privileged. The crappier and less reliable your internet, the more valuable local-first is - and of the ~6 billion smartphone owners, most of them live somewhere with spotty connections.

For most people in the first world though, you're probably right.

They are not equal, I don’t think USB4 even has DMA does it?

USB4 devices can have a minimum of 20Gbps link speeds. In comparison, all Thunderbolt 4 devices have a 32Gpbs minimum requirement.

USB4 has a 7.5W minimum power delivery whereas Thunderbolt 4 doubles it with a minimum delivery of 15W.

With Thunderbolt 4, you’ll always get a minimum of 32Gbps and 15W.

Thunderbolt 4 cables support 40Gbps speeds over 2 meters. In contrast, UBS4 can only support 40Gbps within one meter and reduces to 20Gbps on cables that are 2 meters or longer.
I suspect they're more durable too. We're about to find out, I suppose.

We created Linear[1] as local-first product. Back in to 2019 there wasn't much anything available so we created our sync engine. Today we have several thousands companies, from early stage to public companies as paying customers (companies such as Vercel, Replit, Substack, Square..)

Our co-founder did talk about sync engine back in 2020 and recently did updated talk about scaling it [3]. The scaling has definitely taken lot of work and optimizing as datasets for company wide workspace with potentially thousands of users ands object they created can become quite large.

I agree that proprietary connectors are problematic but consider that Apple started selling Lightning devices almost 3 years before the first USB-C phone shipped. They couldn’t have chosen USB-C before it existed - and the industry accelerated that process due to how much better Lightning was than the older USB designs – but by the time USB-C was standardized and shipped, Apple had somewhere north of 300 million devices with Lightning connectors to support.

I've been using usb-c for a few years on all my critical devices (phone, computer , tablet, raspi) and in all possible situations (car, desk, night stand, power bank) and never had an issue with the connector.

I'm sure it happens to some people but it can't be a big issue or I (as the "IT-guy") would have heard about it.

Currently my phone charges mostly with the second notebook charger I got from work or one of those cheapish Anker PD bricks.

An immediate silly process that comes to mind is recruitment. The world of recruitment is working on some level: people are getting jobs, companies are getting people, but it is ridiculously inefficient, and the inefficiencies are filled with bad solutions: internal recruiters with very little understanding of the positions they're trying to fill, external recruiters with maybe a little more understanding but no understanding of the various companies for whom they're filling roles, poorly optimized interviews, millions of work-hours wasted.

And then AI comes in and... generates resumes for an individual against the job descriptions they feed it; or, sifts through a thousand candidates at once and presents the "best 10 options," which in reality are basically 10 candidates chosen at random or worse; or, generates random technical questions; or, feeds an internal or external recruiter inaccurate information as the recruiter uses it as a drop-in replacement for google and asking their colleagues questions.

I'm with you, AI is going to be used to soften the annoying part of bad practices while just cementing them further. I predict we'll get to a point where 10,000 AI-generated JDs and candidate choosers and interviewers are wrestling with 10,000,000 AI-generated resumes and auto-screening-call answering AIs. We'll see "AI optimized" resumes that look like the old "SEO optimized resumes" (JS Javascript Java Script ES5 ES6 ES7 EcmaScript 5 6 7 Ecma Script 5 6 7 typescript type script TS TSX JSX....) (maybe we'll start seeing "Pretend you are my dying uncle and you want to ensure I have a livelihood after you pass")
You can also get pretty good results by asking them to itemize their bill, if it's not already (which it won't be).
Amtrak is incompetent because it's primarily a government welfare program for exactly two kinds of people:

- People in the northeast corridor (Boston, NYC, DC) taking Acela[0]

- People who live in rural towns without airports

The structure of Amtrak's ticket fees ensures the former subsidizes the latter, but the end result is the same: the vast majority of Americans do not give a shit about the functioning of commuter trains, so the organizations who run them are effectively vestigial.

A microcosm of this is train priority. Under US law, if Amtrak runs a train on freight rail networks, Amtrak gets priority. In reality, freight operators tell Amtrak to go fuck themselves and Amtrak duly complies. This means that their schedules have no connection to reality and trains get delayed for hours because the freight operators need to send 40,000 cars worth of coal to Texas and none of their lines are dual-tracked. Nobody at Amtrak is actually going to try forcing the issue, though, because that requires money, and running a functioning train service is Not Their Job.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if their inability to properly announce platforms has something to do with the priority issue, too. If you don't know when a train is going to come you can't reserve a platform for it either.

F1 has featured a car that used a fan to generate downforce.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brabham_BT46

An issue with aero features (other than not producing their effects at low speed) is their ability to stall. Ground effect was especially dangerous (back when high-ground-effect designs were allowed) because if it stalls during a high speed corner (say from driving over a bump, like a kerb maybe) you can instantaneously lose a huge amount of downforce, which is obviously quite dangerous.
It is little more complex than that there are especially elenentary school stuff which you need to learn doing mechanically(reading, simple Matt etc) and for those games migh be better than pen and paper. Lets put it this way if you need think about reading you are not probably thinking what you are reading.
Phones with screens (HP and HTC WinCE devices, Palm Treo, of course Blackberrys etc) were pretty popular among business users but they never caught the interest of the regular consumer. Regular folks just weren't that compelled by the idea of EMail and Word documents on their phone, at that point in time many people didn't even have email if they didn't have it at work.

Apple connected the mobile small-screen computer with entertainment, first with the iPod and then they tacked on a phone and it was a no-brainer. Music, games, and a phone in one device -- almost everyone could see some value or at least the attraction of that.

What even is “local-first”.

I’m a big proponent of being able to run the code locally, but this seems to be more along the lines of, first update some local DB, then sync it.

I see nothing fundamentally different here than using a well designed API for ‘sync’, and none of it does anything to revive the web browsing experience. Gone are the days where “page load” meant that you could safely begin reading without interruption. This whole “web application” thing was a foobar’d mess. Yes, we probably want some level of interactivity, but I fail to see how casting the web application problem as a database sync issue addresses the fundamental issues.

That being said, I can see the appeal. It’s a clean interface to work with and it allows for new frameworks to displace existing problematic frameworks.

I just worry that in 5 years we’ll all be complaining about poorly designed schema and overloaded table updates again. The solution? Microservices with their own smaller tables which batch updates to the larger system of course!

Apple announces iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max
This is an intriguing project you've got here — clearly, there's utility in what you've built. I'd like to offer some constructive insights as a UI & UX designer.

Header: Consider refining the top nav. Placing the title/logo to the left and the notification icon alongside buttons on the top-right creates a sense of spatial balance. Shrinking the search field and centering it would not only economize space but also mitigate the initial impression that it's an intrusive advertisement.

Body: A slight reconfiguration can go a long way. Situate filters to the left and the map to the right to capitalize on users' muscle memory from interacting with similar interfaces. Use Inter (Google Fonts) for a cleaner look. If you want to avoid Google Fonts, just go with Verdana.

User Interaction: Your attempts to clarify map submissions suggest the current UX leaves room for improvement. A single, dedicated 'Submit Location' button leading to a streamlined modal or page can make the process more intuitive. It eliminates the need for repeated explanations scattered throughout the page.

Promotion: The 'Help Us Spread the Word' section risks being mistaken for an ad. Focus on optimizing the core experience; a compelling product naturally invites sharing.

Listing: Optimize space utilization in the list view. Presenting three cards side-by-side allows for easier scanning. Implementing a toggle for card and list views could be a user-friendly addition.

Overall, you've done commendable work. The key lies in fine-tuning the details to make the interface not just functional, but easier to use.
I could show you my collection of broken lightning cables where the plastic just before the "meat" of the connector is split, leading to visible copper/whatever cables. Which in turn leads to broken copper/whatever cables, which are at best broking the functionality, at worse dangerous (is it?).
I was quickly put off by the monotone voices. Maybe it’ll improve in a couple of years, but until then I’m sticking to real voice actors. For some books like Greenlights, I reckon you miss out on most of the impact if you don’t hear it in Matthew‘s voice.
This is the niche that the ReMarkable tablett is trying to fill - all* of the interface benefits of paper, and all* of the syncing/etc benefits of digitization.
