I agree with your example – and I believe that a lot of people's concerns are due to the fact that the way market dynamism leads to individual resilience and recovery, still necessarily involves individual instability and insecurity with root structural causes that are worth addressing.

As a contrived example: why is there a competitive market for efficient heat pumps, and a role for a "market lubricator" to profit like a logistics behemoth like Amazon, in formerly temperate climates? Climate instability and its human consequences. The good and the bad co-exist, and I'm not going to speculate any more than that.

Phones are not general purpose computers, they have a specific use which is to communicate with people over a distance.

I earn money to make my life better, not to just increase a number in my bank account. I hope you understand the concept of surplus income. Otherwise we can go back to stone-age "just existing", "being in the moment and intimate with raw sensations" as nature intended to be.

To take your point further, why not abolish, ban luxury market segment. A $10 shirt does the same job of $500 one. Well Apple created a necessity in making you to buy a $1000 dollar phone, it does the same job as $400 one.

I would allow market place to decide what new ideas should take hold in society. Taking an uber or online dating was frowned upon, not anymore. People can change, society can adapt, better processes can be put in place to avoid hurt sentiments of all parties involved.

When I proposed to my wife, I proposed with a ring with a single, solitary moissanite gemstone, about 1kt. She loved it (I assume she still loves it, she still wears it and gets complements on it frequently). One of the main complements that she receives is how "shiny" it is, probably due to how refractive moissanite is compared to diamond. That made me feel good hearing how people noticed.

It was also SIGNIFICANTLY less money than an equally sized diamond at the time. I understand that you want to demonstrate your love and affection to your significant other, but I can't justify spending nearly $10k on a ring, whose gemstone was probably harvested by someone working in reprehensible conditions (probably slavery).

I recently got a near perfect condition IMSAI 8080, and took it apart to make sure everything was good to go. The power supply is indeed beefy! One of the interesting things to note was the only fuse was on the primary side, and it is 5 amps. With no fuses on the secondary side the 8V rail would not break the primary side fuse until ~70amps! I would guess you would have diode failure before that point, but certainly something to be careful with when poking around in there.

It is also interesting to see the 120V AC going to the front panel switch with no separation on the PCB. Those old times were good times.

It is otherwise such a fantastic part of computer history and a reminder of a time when assembly of a computer was within reach of so many skill levels.

This has been discussed a couple of times here:

There seems to be little point in using Ham transmitters when there are a large number of very powerful Military transmitters already operating in the VLF band.

Plus the monitors wouldn't need to be hams, just normal Shortwave listeners and/or hobbyists..

And as discussed previously, there already are extensive networks which use signals from military VLF transmitters to monitor for "Sudden Ionospheric Disturbances" (SID)

see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_ionospheric_disturbance.

You don't specify how your network would work, but it sounds like it would be very similar to the professional SID studies being carried out by various universities world wide.

I think my point is that wlroots is a set of building blocks, rather than a single library. You can't build an unopinionated single library that just takes care of the Waylandness of your DE, that you can build on top of. The compositing and the windowing and the event handling are all intertwined, so instead the best you can do is wlroots which gives you some blocks you can put together in the appropriate way.

It makes for complex, significant work for any Wayland DE, with less shared work. I don't think this is wrong - it seems this is the approach we need to get full featured DEs, it's just unfortunate that that's how reality has worked out.
In your example, it feels more like the distributor of the CD now has to pay the copyright holder 1ct everytime you play the CD, from January 1st next year.

But it is license based? Wow, that is quite a risk to take as a gamedev, to tightly-couple your game with a third-party company's tooling, who can change their terms at will, so you can no longer use their tooling.

I understand that you buy a license, but surely you can buy a permanent or fixed license for a lot more money, to take away the risks of having to pull your game from distribution due to licensing restrictions.

It sounds like a dumb move from unity, to create so much uncertainty.
https://carlaaston.com/designed/desk-in-kitchen-design-featu...

The “before” picture with the oak cabinets somewhat down the page comes the closest to what most of these look like, in the wild.

Often their placement is even worse than that, though.

They almost always end up a chaotic dump-area for miscellaneous crap, in my experience, and usually end up even worse-off if the owner attempts, initially, to use them as an actual desk, because then they’ll have the clutter of a desk chair and maybe even a monitor and keyboard among the pile of other junk.

They are basically never better than having more ordinary counter space or a cabinet pantry in the same spot. Usually they occur in houses that are plenty large enough to have other desks in several places, not little space-constrained apartments.

They come from a fundamental misunderstanding of why kitchen tables end up used the way they do. I’ve never seen them successfully replace the kitchen table as the shared family desk and hub-of-organizational-activity, because they’re much worse for that than the table is.
What are the implication for snowfall and skiing? We know the Utah state government and the people who elected them don't care about the environment or the health implications of poor quality air, but presumably they do care about jobs, and resorts employ a lot more people than farms do, no?

Why? Unions work the best when they are formed around a cause everyone cares about, that is how we got workers right in the first case, there is nothing that says you need to form a union when things are good.

I wonder whether the flattening of product depth is a unique founder effect, or is destined to happen due to the eventual formation of monopolies?

Take photo sharing as an example.

Early Flickr was amazing. It had tons of features - great varied groups of all types, a huge licensed image search system, great tags, etc. I joined regional groups, and also criticism groups for street photos, etc. Their comment system wasn't just text, it had annotations and they were doing interesting things with geolocation, too.

Then yahoo killed it and now Instagram rules, with fewer features, more addiction and less depth. Flickr had addiction loops too but that wasn't the main focus.

What causes this shrinking of product space?

Is it that the first companies to get mindshare have more product-exploration power than later entries? So if the early companies are creative, they can expand the product space a lot, and uniquely have time to do so. If so, we can just blame yahoo for ruining Flickr, and they actually had a chance.

Alternatively, maybe at late stages competition is so high you'll always get the extreme focus on the best DAU maximizing loops? And eventual monopoly with a small product.
I might be wrong but I think this was a project originated by one of the branches of the US armed forces or security services?

In my experience, democratic organizations are complete garbage. Every experience I've had with local government/HOAs has been a disappointing at best.

It is just ping data. We ping an IP address, get the RTT, draw a radius on the globe, and say that the IP could be anywhere inside that radius. Then we do another ping and draw another radius, and at the cross-section of the two radii could be your IP address. Now, if we do it enough times, we can get an estimate of where the IP address is located.

The data is not derived from the IP address itself, but rather from the process itself. And it's just a ping. Moreover, the majority of the IP addresses are not pingable. So, we rely on other in house statistical and scientific models to estimate the location. The probe infrastructure is extremely complicated and there are billions and billions of IP addresses, which is why we do not have a robust range filter mechanism.

You can implement a dynamic ping blocking mechanism or use our data to find hosting ASNs and block ranges of those ASNs. You can download the database for free: https://ipinfo.io/developers/ip-to-country-asn-database

Walk through your local Lowe's and home Depot and take a close look at their lawn equipment. It's all junk that will be thrown away in a decade. Plastic bushings, plastic spindles, flimsy exhaust mounts, etc. If you seriously take the time to look closely, you can see where you they are engineered to fail.

Even contractor brands like Stihl are starting to do this stuff. Most of their trimmers now do not have a grease fill port on the head. To make matters worse, replacing a head costs almost as much as an entire trimmer...

Consumers had all the choice. They literally kept buying unrepairable devices, so the market naturally shifted away.

99% of users, even after this bill, will never repair anything ever. It's forcing niche desires onto everyone.

It's a law that forces producers hand to do something the vast majority of consumers don't actually want.

Almost everyone will continue to buy a new phone when theirs breaks. No one wants to use a year old phone. It's already outdated. That's what makes it anti-consumer - being directly out of line with what consumers actually want.

What was awful about it? It's been a while since setting up but my config uses it to pluck the important bits from my Org library into SQLite as I edit; it works well enough and wasn't difficult to set up or understand. Admittedly it is relegated to this one step so that everything else can query docs with SQL but I was quite happy that the API exists so as not to do the parsing myself with the mistakes and minor deviations that would entail.
I'd imagine you'd still need a cost benefit analysis if this inquiry were done in good faith. Which in politics, especially when it comes to controlling drugs, it never is. The exception possibly being prohibition itself—but prohibition actually worked, in the sense that the rate of binge drinking dropped drastically. No such efficacy is obvious here and it seems like a really useful medicine.
At least in bases from other countries (i.e., speaking from personal experience), a majority of the personnel, at least during the winter, would come from the military.

I wish I had known this. I tried a standing desk for six months some years ago. Standing on a hard surface damaged my heels. They still get sore sometimes.

Love this. I think there is a lot of fun to be had going back through all the old text-based experiments and seeing if they can be rebooted in a LLM.

In this case, there is some interesting structural psychological stuff, which would be the hard part to get the LLM to stick to rigorously, but the rest of the application could very much be reimplemented with an LLM.

"LLM as a mind mirror" is definitely a use-case that we'll see more of, IMO.

No, it's not. That's a terrible slippery-slope argument and you know it. Contact lenses are an FDA Class II medical device. They are *designed* by the manufacturer for contact with the eyeball. A pencil is not.

There is a mountain of evidence suggesting that contact lenses can cause permanent blindness when used incorrectly. Feel free to search for it.

The userspace is so diluted now that it’s basically flat out wrong to say it’s just ‘GNU’, I mean Systemd is probably an even bigger a part than GNU is now, and we’ve long had things like OpenSSH from BSD as pretty core parts of the system, and we’re not going to start calling a distribution ‘Kubuntu Linux/Systemd/GNU/BSD/KDE’ or whatever…

Basically about all something needs to be to be called an OS is a kernel and at least one userspace program that does something useful, so I’d definitely say every ‘Linux distribution’ has always counted as an operating system in itself (so ‘Linux distribution’ is just a specific subset of ‘operating systems’).
Because the "out of box experience" turns lots of users away, including future potential contributors. Emacs could be so much better if it had a larger pool of users from which to draw developers. Read the mailing lists- it's plain to see that Eli and a few others are seriously burnt out. The project is not healthy, despite outward appearances.

There's a sizeable group of emacs users who are "it works for me" grognards and for whom any change to make emacs better constitutes an assault on them as a person.

If that's you, just down vote and move on and continue enjoying living in your ensconced world of mediocre software. I don't have energy to have this argument yet again.
You could make the argument that this is more of a GNU + Linux than an operating system unto itself.
