The "centimillionaire" to describe wealth of $100+ million has been used for many years before this thread's article. Here's an old newspaper article about Enron from 2003:
https://www.nytimes.com/2003/02/09/business/company-man-to-t...

>In one year, Mr. Lay has been transformed from a centimillionaire with huge stock holdings to a multimillionaire whose wealth is mostly tied up in hard-to-sell assets.

And some extra trivia... your "correction" and the followup replies is replaying Groundhog Day... e.g. 9 years ago : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8319279
I would say the rest of the content follows the quality trend the headline established.
He is right, technofeudalism is the future. However, I think this will end up be being seen as a good thing, and history will ultimately look back at the transition as being as obviously good as Monarchy -> Democracy.
Actually, yes.

On one level, sure, the problem is temporary and will sort itself out.

But it's a very practical problem right now for people with EVs and can be a significant factor in reducing the desirability of EVs. I'll say that charging was my #1 complaint when I leased a Chevy Bolt for a year. Chargers(in the bay area no less) were often broken, expensive, or required me to return to the charger(i.e. in the middle of dinner) to disconnect and move my vehicle.
This is what EV promoters seem blind to. If you rent, like 50 million other americans, EV become one of the most inconvenient things you could possibly ever buy. And even if your place offers charging, when you move it probably wont be at the next place.
Interestingly enough, it seems they don't use it for much, even redirects. Domains like store.apple don't resolve.

You can of course find pages via Google:

In Wasmer we recently ported ffmpeg to Wasm/WASIX. It runs fully in both client (browser) and also fully on the server: https://wasmer.io/wasmer/ffmpeg (is multithreaded, all codecs supported)

Here's a video showcasing it! https://twitter.com/wasmerio/status/1687238131395768320

I believe we can bring ffmpeg to any programming language quite easily... stay tuned!
I was hallucinating the text to follow "microUSB 3.0 is indeed weird..." and realized what it is. There is practically no implementation ambiguity in microUSB 3.0. No USB-PD, USB-BC, or USB Billboard class, just plain old - if there was such a thing - USB 3.0. So it's non-ideal but zero risk option that comes with tolerable cost.

MicroHDMI, idk.
is millionaire also incorrect?
It is because you are confusing an etymology (in 'centenary', 'centennial', 'centigrade'...) with a prefixing (in 'centimeter', 'centigram', 'centiliter'...).
That's exactly why I said "practical" ;)

Apple had one leader who thought differently, and that paid off, and now there is already some inertia inside apple because that is part of their brand. They put out one bad keyboard, mess with the ports in their macs and the world judges them harshly, everything is something gate.

Because Apple's way works does not mean other ways do not. Those other ways are way easier and cheaper, and businesses are fine chasing lower hanging fruits.

Elections should reflect the will of the people. But it's kind of gamed, because
lots of people don't vote. And then it becomes about who has the money, and ground work to get out their voters to vote.

Say you were willing to cheat to have your candidate win the vote. Not uncommon historically through out the world. One way of doing it is to wait for election results, then make up the margin with fake ballots or fraud. This is why the opportunity to cheat is greater if elections take a week to tabulate, as opposed to same day results.

Not knowing the results, and not being able to game the system, even for one day, in theory should more accurately reflect the will of the general population, even the ones that don't vote.

> Hosting services affected include web hosting, social media, video streaming services, file hosting and cloud services

> Even personal storage that is not being shared, such as Apple’s iCloud, will be subject to chat control

This is new to me. In that case it looks like all services with encryption 'baked in' lose their effectiveness. And that encryption/decryption of text & data needs to be done independently of said service layer to regain privacy.

What if generic encryption apps would integrate with chat apps and the like? According to these rules the chat apps are still required to do scanning, but that will be done on encrypted data which seems pointless.

Unless the rules will be adapted at some point that general encryption needs to be scanned as well, but that would be impractical and undesirable for the EU as well.
You're right, the model would be improved by adding depreciation. I suspect it would increase the disparity, making the Bolt even cheaper. But I don't know that without looking into it more. I think I will at least look at the topic when I do this again next year. Thanks for bringing it up to me.

There are lots of other things not included in the model, too. I would need to pay a contractor to add a 240 outlet to my garage, which will be like $500 since it's next to the breaker box. I will also spend hours of my life waiting for the car to charge during trips over those ten years. I bet people probably underestimate how much that will suck before they buy an EV. I could include a healthcare cost adjustment due to safety ratings, the impact of which I probably grossly underestimate.

I think the biggest omission is change in the gas:electricity price ratio over ten years. Using current values for the whole ten years is a mistake, considering it's the main difference between the options and is likely to change a lot.

edit: also I'm sorry for the tone of my previous post. I didn't mean for it to sound that way.
Yes and even worse they now start to add the theoretical maximum of several streams together to get an even bigger number that makes even less sense.

For example Ubiquiti lists their Unifi U6+ at 1.2gbit and the U6 Pro at 4.8gbit. But the speed these two products will achieve in a home or small office is exactly the same. The Pro has some more range (bigger antennas), but both will get you about 700mbit in ideal reception no interference conditions because they're based on the same WiFi 6 standard.

Edit: And they know it, both products have a 1gbit physical port that is enough to serve "4.8 gbit wifi"
I’ve been buying Novamin on Amazon. I just make sure that the Amazon product name/description says Canadian and NOVAMIN, so that if they send the American Fluoride Sensodyne, I can return it. I make sure it ships Amazon Prime and allows free returns. My most recent came from Turkey(!?), rather than Canada, but was packaged properly and tasted identical to the Canadian I’d previously received.
> ranges should be a language feature, as should span and optional

That’s an opinion. As you notice, “It's clear that major changes are preferred as library changes not language changes”

The spirit of C/C++ is to put just enough in the language itself to allow programmers to implement such things in them.
Is it bad that after reading the sub-title I thought they were talking about Canada?

Just a guess, as I only know a little about hearing aids, but maybe it's to measure the acoustic properties of the ear canal to be able to dynamically reproject the frequency spectrum of incoming sound to bands that the ear in question can actually hear.
1) EV’s are more efficient. It’s already more efficient to burn the gasoline in a power plant to power your EV. Yes, transmission has losses, but gas cars are an atrocious 15-20% efficient. (Not that we should do this)

2) even if EVs don’t cut the transportation energy as much as we wish, they allow the entire fleet to smoothly transition to climate-friendly energy.

I love bikes. I have an e-bike that is 10x as efficient as an EV. But the public simply isn’t willing to switch to public transit and bikes. Even if they were, a fleet of gas-powered busses will probably be worse for the climate than wind-powered EVs.

P.S. microplastics are a real problem, but if you believe climate change is an existential threat, microplastics are not a very good reason to argue against EVs.

The military ultimately executes the policies of the Presidential administration which commands it and the Congress that funds it, under the laws the latter put in place. Especially in the Middle East and Vietnam, while there is blame to be put on theater commanders, the US military was also hamstrung by incoherent policy decisions of the civilian leadership.

And frankly I don't care whether or not "many" armchair generals and admirals do or don't consider Korea a "loss." War is not a sports game. The details of the geopolitical and economic fallout of a stalemate like that matter a whole hell of a lot more than who "won."
I agree this sucks. But why not create a separate account for each app? I know some ios app developers do this so if they want to transfer ownership of an app, it’s a lot easier if you have a separate account.

On the other hand, yes I know that there are some things that you are allowed to do between applications if they are all owned by the same entity.

If I were a customer who contracted out development of a mobile app. I would insist on owning the Google account and having the source code. He said what if this had been work for a client.

Similarly, when I worked for a startup that was positioning itself for an exit (acquisition), I pushed through taking our AWS account out of our MSPs organization and us owning it even at the cost of volume discounts

Hard disagree. It's much easier to reason about async await because you don't need to worry about preemption. You (generally) don't need mutexes or anything like that.
I'm curious about this idea of open antagonism from the US. Certainly the US is antagonistic about things like beheadings of journalists and killing women for the crimes of being raped or exposing their hair, but it hasn't stopped the US from selling weapons to and otherwise completely supporting the rule of multiple strict Islamic governments in the region.

I don't think it requires a larger time investment. It is really hard to remember how much time you've spent learning windows. Windows is easy not because it is so user friendly, but because you are so used to it.

Seems to me Google is trying to discourage free apps by making the process so painful that only people making money off them will jump through the hoops.

Having to upgrade the target API, mentioned in the article, is a good example. If you have 50 apps, just updating that is quite an effort. I started updating some of mine, but after the first few I hit one that required quite a bit of effort. At which point I just said "I'm done". My apps can expire from the store. I'm focusing more on web apps instead.

The reason I picked Android over iOS, and probably the same for a lot of people, was that it was the more open and free (as in freedom) platform. But Google is eroding away at any such advantages it had in that area.
Does this have any implications on dark matter? I think most of the evidence for dark matter is from outside the galaxy, so not really.

This is an excellent post about the evolution and the milestones that lead to the current async Rust approach. I thought the technical arguments were clearly articulated, dispassionately responding to the recent critical viewpoints regarding async Rust.

Just a note.

Google Cloud is already in the bandwidth alliance, while AWS is not.

So you can send your files already to cloudflare at a discounted rate.

https://www.cloudflare.com/bandwidth-alliance/

Additionally, there are reasons to keep your data duplicate within AWS. There's no one-size-fits-all here.

The point is to make use of cloudflare free eggres to get your data where you need it ( since others have egress costs, but no ingress costs)

Eg. Train ml models in AWS, GCE or Azure ( where compute is cheapest) and make use of cloudflare to provide them with the data.

This should create a huge cost saving, since there's no eggres anywhere.

Example: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-r2-mosaicml-train-llm...
