True, but profits are limited to financial years. The real question is when they'll have made more than they've spent lifetime. For Tesla it's happened, same for Falcon 9 and Dragon.

What's questionable is starlink, starship and Falcon Heavy
> You state this as a fact, but this is far from settled.

It wasn't intended as a fact, but there's an implied "IMO" at the end of that sentence. :) You're fine to disagree with it, but at the same time, those of us who don't like this trend have no say in the matter. It is being imposed on everyone, whether we like it or not.

> Also you already have to. We have the ISS which is frequently visible as a fast moving bright dot, then you also have the Iridium flares. Then of course you have airplanes, which are equally easy to confuse with natural object.

The amount of airplanes in the sky visible at once don't come close to the amount of planned satellites Starlink and other corporations plan to launch in the near future. We're talking about several of orders of magnitude less. And while I also dislike seeing airplanes, at least air transportation is a general public good. We already have pretty good worldwide internet connectivity by ground. Increasing space junk globally so that remote villages without access to water can get online, or for rich people to have slightly better and cheaper connections from their yachts, sounds like a bad deal to me. And this is besides the fact that most of these satellites won't be used for providing internet access, but for the traditionally benevolent agendas of governments and large corporations.
https://www.fingrid.fi/sahkomarkkinat/sahkojarjestelman-tila... shows a roughly +1GW (~12GW -> 13GW) rise in consumed power during the first two hours after the price hitting the negative pricing floor (-500€/MWh) at 15:00. Seems like there's some consumer elasticity there, but not enough to make the grid fall over.

This is after the national grid operator planned to intervene as necessary and imposed some restrictions on trading [1], but those seem to have been lifted and the intra-day market is working (at 10× normal volumes).

What library is used to make the frontend globe rendering? Its pretty fast and not laggy on my chrome browser.
Maybe I'm the odd person out, but I don't find most Apple UIs all that intuitive. The iPod Classic was fantastic but we're a ways past that.

I've used Windows, and Linux on the desktop for a lot of years, and struggled with my new Mac this year. The last time I used a Mac was System 7.

Tons of normal options are hidden and undiscoverable, except by accident or tradition. Maybe my annoyances are just because they feel restrictive, as you say. I'm not sure.

Calculator on iPhone is an example. Vertical for standard, horizontal for scientific. Simple once you know, but I only found that because I put my phone down on my desk with it open, but back to the Mac.

Please let me stick windows to corners. Do not make me hover a UI element with my mouse to see more options. Mac's built in window management is less powerful than Windows 7's.

If it isn't what you're used to, a program being open but not having any windows is a strange way to work.

And how do I show hidden files in Finder? I was convinced I just can't find the menu item, but if you Google it, you get some suggestions for command line options, and running Automator tasks.

The history of payments and banking is amazing.

It’s always been a hard problem to solve, and the bankers who solved it always got paid handsomely for enabling commerce.

In the old days everyone bartered. Then came shells. Then precious metals. The gold had to be literally shipped around. Everyone from the Roman to the British empire had to physically ship chests of gold to it’s soldiers. Cross border commerce was absolutely fraught with risk. Piracy and shipwrecks galore.

Then the Rothschilds opened the first international bank, dramatically cutting the difficulty and expense of international trade.

We got cheques, paper money, and the credit card control room you worked in.

At every step, it got faster, cheaper, safer, more ephemeral. Trade increased dramatically. It’s amazing! The much-maligned banking sector is really a triumph of capitalism.

> cannot think in a way that will lead to maintain a decent amount freedom given a enough time

I think it's because of the power imbalance between the state/corporation and the public. Those who seek to control have the resources, including an army of educated and smart people, to persistently push forward on their agenda, lobbying to shape laws, and mass media to shape the public opinion. They own the mainstream narrative, what is discussed and how.

We might fend off this particular attempt at further restricting our freedoms, but it's guaranteed they will try again and again, each time the gear of their infernal machine turns like a ratchet.
> a new dystopian level of government control.

Basically when Ariane 5 was designed, the Shuttle was all the hotness and the European were mostly copying the design.

And for the Ariane 6 they didn't have time to come up with anything new. Most of the Ariane 6 are just things that were already in development for the Ariane 5 ME.

It takes Europe 10+ years at least for a new engine. So Ariane 6 couldn't have used anything new.

As for why not using it on the second stage, its simple. Its to big.

Ariane 5/6 are late staging system. Meaning the boosters provide a lot of the load to get of the ground. The first stage flies was longer then in systems like the Falcon 9. So the hydrogen is bad for takeoff but if you stage late, hydrogen advantage matters more.
Not every company would have their all-time highest sales on this year's Black Friday....
Thank you for pointing that out, fixed!
It’s bit weird/curious to think about but I watched Moominvalley (90s series) when I was a young child. The “IP” is of course Finnish. Then when I was older I watched Pokémon. Only recently did I notice and find out that they are both Japanese anime. (I mean that Moonvalley surprised me)

This is an important point. People often say "you need to do X to get a large user base", which is basically "capitalist thinking" where the goal is maximizing profit (via large user base).

But open source projects / devs don't have these incentives, they don't get rich out of a large user base. They often develop for fun, scratching their own itch, fulfilling some specific vision. Having user base is still important (testing, bug reports, ideas, PRs, validation/ego), but I think it's rarely the case that OSS's project's top priority is the largest user base possible.

Sometimes you even get sort of gatekeeping devs preferring a smaller, more advanced (dev) user base, since a larger user base composed of basic users bring more headache (support) in comparison with the benefits (quality code contributions).
Besides the technical problems, I had a lot of fun with violet. I really like the game, which makes the missing polish even sadder. Though I haven't bought a new Nintendo game in years. I only buy used, because I don't want to directly support these development cycles.
I've learned to never create a situation where friends or family need to press one another for owed money. I've always just paid for reasonable things if friends were short on cash. Not because I'm a pillar of charity, but asking for repayment is an unpleasant task.

And I'd strongly recommend against renting an apartment or house from family. At best, it adds unwanted dimensions to relationships. At worst, it turns times in life when you would've merely tripped into times when you trip and fall into a snarled briar of family problems.
I'm glad that they are. It's another form of critical thinking and a wonderful thing for our children to be taught.
To be fair, the rock/paper/scissors battle loop has 16 (17? Fairy type?) different types with many combinations to build a strategy on. This is why platforms like Pokémon Showdown exist, the "catch and train and breed and battle" loop is too tedious for my adult self.

I appreciate the battle system but the mainline games themselves were primarily designed for a younger audience.
> Why are you assuming the person with the problem is driving?

Because it's what the average "medical emergency" involving "driving as though impaired" is.

> That’s not what anyone is talking about. The point was that someone driving a passenger to the hospital would be in a justifiable rush.

No, the point was "medical emergency", and "driving as though impaired".

> It’s not a movie trope, rushing sick people to the hospital is a real thing that happens.

It absolutely is a movie trope, having to endanger everyone because you need to drive like a maniac due to a medical emergency is a rounding error occurrence in the real world.

> It’s not a problem with the medical system.

Of course it is, the fact that you entertain is as a genuine possibility very much speaks to a lack of pregnancy care and access to emergency services and medical care.

> You’re taking the most bad-faith interpretations of what people are suggesting, but you’re really just setting up straw man arguments and missing the point.

Medical emergencies at the wheel are anything but a strawman, it's a daily occurrence in the US.

Even more so in the context of "driving as though they are impaired".

If we're talking strawman, that is absolutely what "rushing to the hospital with a pregnant wife who otherwise won't make it" is, it's a nonsense movie scenario entirely made up to pull on heartstrings.
When I was younger they showed Marvel cartoons for stories that were written 20 years before hand and the cartoon was created 10 years before hand. I showed some other kids the original comic book for one of the cartoons they refused to believe me that it was that old even though the comic book had a copyright notice for that year. "But I saw it on TV yesterday morning" was their reason for why the copyright notice was wrong.
Very true, after being told many times “that’s not what it says in the Scrum guide, we need to do it like …” by a Scrum Master and a PO I decided to read it. I was astounded to find that the guide says very little and they were just using it as a weapon to push their own controlling desires on to the team. All the devs read it and the next time they used that line we asked them what it actually does say, they just made stuff up, clearly they had never read it either.
> And any utilitarian thinker who wanted to do the op would tell you that they weren't going to get caught

Then they aren't being utilitarian because they are not including the risk into their cost calculation.

Or at least not a good one. Definitely not "any"

edit:

Oh I see this now
> who wanted to do the op

Yeah any person can make any false argument to justify a conclusion they wanna reach. You don't have to be utilitarian for that. Just unethical.
It sounds more like a Pokemon Go related warning from just a few years ago... people were wandering into all sorts of places where they shouldn't have been, trespassing, sometimes even getting injured or killed, just looking for Pokemon.

I think what happened is Microsoft got the raw GPT3.5 weights, based on the training set. However for ChatGPT OpenAI had done a lot of additional training to create the 'assistant' personality, using a combination of human and model based response evaluation training.

Microsoft wanted to catch up quickly so instead of training the LLM itself, they relied on prompt engineering. This involved pre-loading each session with a few dozen rules about it's behaviour as 'secret' prefaces to the user prompt text. We know this because some users managed to get it to tell them the prompt text.

The concept of freedom of movement was already thrown out during covid, as we learnt with the patriot act if you capitulate "Ok, just this one time because it's a special circumstance" then you lose that freedom forever.
Time zones may also be a factor. And Black Friday began as an American phenomena, which has been exported.

I was surprised how much it has been adopted up in LatAm. For example, you can pick any country on Mercado Libre's list[0] and they'll have Black Friday going. Not "Viernes Negro" either, but the actual words "Black Friday".

Kia and Hyundai have done an excellent job with the design of their newer cars. However they’ve done an incredibly poor job with vehicle security. My wife is an insurance broker, and several of the bigger insurance companies will not even insure those brands, for newer models, because theft is out of control. Too bad, because I really like their look.

China obviously, there's not much they wouldn't just buy on domestic platforms using domestic payment services, but almost all of Asia is pretty dark on Shopify, compared to your map. I guess they're just not a thing there, plus maybe black friday itself. Also, the UK is disproportionately brighter on the Shopify map compared to the rest of Europe. Interestingly, light pollution seems pretty low in Germany compared to the Netherlands, but in Shopify it seems to almost be the inverse.
Being someone who spent a lot of time in the WordPress space and is building a pretty complex PHP app now, I think I see the whole movement of "server-side React" as a subset of developers doing everything they can to not learn PHP. I think I'd have more grace for them if they also didn't have multiple frameworks to not learn CSS. I know it's petty and I'm painting with a broad brush, but it can feel frustrating when so much of parts of web culture insist on using the same hammer instead of exploring the toolbox.

EDIT: All that to say, I get it, and for my part I'll try to tone it down. Thanks for listening to this old(er) guy rant.

Sending a PR is the easier part of development, the real work is maintaing that code over the years / decades.

Connected to this is the fact that many PRs are kind of misaligned with the project vision, that's at least the main reason I'm rejecting PRs.
Ah, but it was not like zombies! It was actually a very social phenomenon. I played during that summer (2016?) after not thinking about Pokémon for 15+ years. It was "dumb" but it was cool to have a shared mission, however arbitrary, with so many others. Coworkers pooling money to buy lures, strangers on the street recognizing what you were doing and pointing you the right way wishing good luck, massive groups in city parks.

You are correct that respect for private property or business purpose was likely violated by Pokémon Go players. But "zombie" is not a good description.
PHP doesn't care about the young coders' vogues. Just like SQL doesn't care about the NoSQL crap. It's still here and is going to be for the next few generations.
Looks like my fix for CPU feature detection under clang made it in, so such builds should now have much faster addslashes/base64/etc.

What makes Magictool more privacy focused compared to other Extensions?

1- You can decide domains in which the extension will not be activated (via the "Private Domains" setting)
2- We collect minimal user information (only name and email)
3- Our code is minimal - less than 1/2 MB - since we only add the code we need
4- We don't use Google analytics and we don't load any external code when you use our extension, everything is included in the extension
5- We collect usage data (which features do you use) but we allow you to disable it from the settings, and we share what is sent to our servers with you
That $1.6B contract was not free, they had to do a whole lot of work for it. In fact, this was an incredible cheap price for what SpaceX had to provide. So cheap in fact that SpaceX lost money on this contract. And they didn't just get $1.6B in cash, the had to clear many milestones and actually fly missions before they got the money.

Had Arianespace been required to actually do the same thing, it would likely have cost the government 4+ billion $.

So this 'not small' contract was actually an incredible hart to fulfill and incredibly risky gamble by SpaceX.
Because the audience extends beyond children. The people spending big money on Pokémon are adults who grew up on it. Now they are in their prime earning years.
Sure. You can start by making unnecessary consumption mean “net pollutant” products where the cost of producing them and the waste they create exceed the value that customers pay for or gain from the product, so easy suspects are the types of inventory which are always left over and unsold even during huge sales and promo periods.
Could really benefit from an example of what comes out the other end of it, in this article and in the repo.
Yes, but as I said above that doesn't make sense. The atomicity we're discussing here is with respect to time, and sequencing (not say size, like an atom).

We say that rename() is atomic because you will either see file A or file B. There are no other possible states.

With a crash, writes might not be committed. You might get an earlier filesystem state.

I ported Charlie Forgy’s OPS5 to InterLisp-D and added a nice UI and a few utilities.

Most of my development work however was doing demos for specific potential clients. It was easy enough to put something tailored together, then a senior person would bring potential clients into my office and I would mostly talk with them while showing them their demo. So, not much practical. That was 40 years ago.
