Americans have no idea how high the cost of living is in Europe relative to wages.

Median sale price in Seattle is $560/square foot, which is almost exactly $6000/square meter. With minimum wage at $18.69/hr, that's 320 hours of minimum wage work per square meter.

For comparison, average price per square meter in Paris is over 10 000 EUR ($10 700), whereas the minimum wage is 11.50 EUR, giving you a ratio of 870 hours of min wage work per square meter, almost 3 times more expensive.

When you compare them by median household income, Seattle is around $110k/year, which is $55/hour, giving 110 hours/square meter for median family. In Paris, for comparison, median household income is 44k EUR/year, which is 22 EUR/hour, resulting in 454 hours/square meter, which is 4 times more expensive than in Seattle for median family, even worse than for minimum wage.

These were before-tax figures, and doing after tax makes the situation even more lopsided: US tax system is much more progressive than European, and so taxes for median and below are extremely low compared to Europe. At Seattle minimum wage, the effective tax rate is around 15%, whereas in France, at minimum wage you're still paying 25% in income tax. To top it off, in France, the VAT is 20%, compared to 10% in Seattle.

You can do the same calculation for most of Europe, and you'll find the same: pretty much all large metros in Europe are almost universally less affordable than most expensive metros in US, including NYC and SF.

The right number is decided by competition. Different payment processors vie for customers by offering better deals until profit margins stabilize at a reasonable level. That's impossible with a monopoly.

> Classic thread on this stuff from Halvar Flake:

That's from four years ago and does not address these technical issues. Are you going to pull it out every time OpenBSD is mentioned? I think people understand that you don't like their approach, etc., and the flaws you see, and that OpenBSD isn't designed for your interests.
Current example everyone is likely aware of: all the various states trying to pass pro/anti-abortion laws in the wake of the recent Supreme Court ruling.
You still need protected lanes in your personal-car-free future. You can't trust bus drivers and delivery truck drivers to not hit cyclists; if anything, they're more dangerous because their vehicles are so large and visibility is poor. And don't forget all the exhaust fumes from these things.

Even if you make all these vehicles driverless and electric, cyclists aren't going to want to regularly ride inches away from them, just like they don't want to ride inches away from a speeding train even though the train can't easily leave its tracks. Cyclists make mistakes too, and making a small steering error, or hitting a bump in the road, could have catastrophic results in the environment you seem to be promoting. Cyclists need their own road, and until that happens, riding on the sidewalk is the proper place for them.
Yes, whatever it takes. A society which doesn’t take care of their sick is a failed society. Seattle is the richest city in one of the richest state of the richest country in the world. If we wanted to we could easily take care of anyone that needed it.

That includes 128 GB of RAM, which costs $400 to $500. And a 1 TB SSD, about $100 for a good one. And a video card. Cases and power supplies aren't free either.

If you bought just the motherboard with CPU and built up something with equivalent specs yourself, from new parts, you might end up at less than $2500, but it won't be by much.

Google is quite a bit more developer friendly than Apple. Glad to see Epic and developers get a win here, but too bad the courts sided with Apple. Would have liked to see App Store / Play Store duopoly broken up.
I agree, this sounds like a dumb idea for the applications listed. For a display screen, you want something that is perfectly clear, and this doesn't sound like it will be. It'll either have visible fibers, which no one wants on their phone screen, or at best it'll have reduced transmitivity, which means you'll need to increase the OLED/backlight brightness to compensate, which means the battery life will be bad.

It sounds like a good idea for some other applications, such as lampshades, or some places where plexiglass is used; places where you don't need (or even want) perfectly-clear glass, and the strength of wood fibers can be a big asset.

wishful thinking's always better than facing reality. At least in some worlds.
It's not an issue of 'solving' arbitrarily large np-complete problems; it's solving the required problems (e.g. register usage across multiple function calls) better than today's compilers.

And, AI will for sure do that.

A core element of the problem is that Americans are vehemently opposed to involuntary long term psychiatric treatment. Long term, in this context, meaning anything longer than 72 hours or so.

So there’s a push to decriminalize because the alternative is jailing non violent drug offenders. This is counterproductive in many ways and keeps them in cycles that enable addiction like preventing gainful employment, increasing access to network of people that can provide hard drugs, increase hopelessness and worthlessness, increase likelihood of violent behavior, etc.

A better system would be to decriminalize with the alternative of connecting people with serious and persistent mental health issues to significant inpatient mental health supports. Not someone that smokes pot or drops acid every once and a while, but the people like you describe that abuse hard drugs like methamphetamine or fentanyl to the point that they become homeless and frequently experience psychosis. Programs that provide housing, counseling, rehab, etc. but again most people vehemently oppose this for various reasons. Distrust of psychiatry, refusal to fund government programs, a libertarian belief that a person should be able to let themselves self destruct even if it destroys the community around them, etc

So here we are

"The problem is, the news doesn’t make us informed -- quite the opposite. The more news we consume, the more misinformed we become."

"News is, by definition, something that doesn’t last."

Couldn't disagree more. As a counterargument, consider, for instance, the question of how it would be possible to write history without a connection to news (and other things) stored to archives?

But this I can agree with:

"Like other purveyors of drugs, producers of news want you to consume more of it."

Yet, the argument is hardly novel:

For me this is common. Not so much in the "saved the company" sense, but rather in the "oh, I know how to solve that" sense.

And only occasionally for big things. More often for little things. Bug fixing. Feature design and so on.

I seems when I stop looking at the problem so hard, the solution works itself out subconsciously, and is waiting for me the next time I think in that direction. Usually in the shower :)

Of course this is just the beginning of the actual solution. The work is in taking the idea and then turning it into something useful. Ideas by themselves are valueless.
The issue isn't identity but attestation or assertion of identity.

The problem with DNA, as with fingerprints, voiceprints, retina scans, and the rest, is that a small sample or simulacrum of the original object or characteristic can often create a false positive.

You leave your fingerprints, and DNA, on everything you touch, literally. Your voice is now being recorded in high fidelity at great frequency, and your eyeballs are visible to whatever it is you are looking at.

The original use-case for computer passwords, as inveted by Fernando Corbato, was in a specific facility, with a physical location and at least reasonably-limited access, largely as a measure to prevent either accidental or typically prankish mis-use of other people's computer resources. The "universe" was a few score people.

We're now relaying on passwords (and numerous other proxies for identity attestation) in a universe of roughly ten billion people, with remote 24/7/365 access and highly-automated attacking systems, over a channel which provides very narrow capabilities for high-credibility, non-spoofable assertions.

For humans interacting in person, there are many simultaneous indicia of who an individual is, particularly amongst people well-known to one another: visual appearance, voice, height, gait and carriage, mannerisms, and personal/intimate knowledge. Even for in-person identity assertion, these factors break down at scale, as our primate brains can recall the features of a few score individuals, but not many hundreds or thousands, let alone billions.

(An interesting exercise is to consider the span of a year, or your life, and how much time you could dedicate to n number of people in that time. Even over a lifetime, you can only get to know perhaps 50,000 people for an hour or more 1:1, roughly a medium-sized town's population. Not even a large city, let alone a state/province or nation, let alone the global population.)

I'm coming to feel that the idea that we can transact significant interactions at this scale (population, distance, time) may well prove to be greatly flawed. Airgapping and limited access have their benefits.
Kids today ... Anyway, how has it worked out for OpenBSD?
but queries are supposed to denormalize

Well, that's how they've always worked, yes.

Might there be a better way for some use cases?

denormalize to present information in the desired format

What if my "desired format" is a structure that maintains the relationships specified in the database?

This is an incredibly common pattern, particularly with ORMs.

# psuedocode
for each recipe in Recipe.joins(Ingredient).select_all() do
for each ingredient in recipe.ingredients do
print(f"{recipe.name} requires {ingredient.name}")

Depending on the ORM and the query options specified, this results in one of the following:

1. Everything getting denormalized into a single, wasteful result table and then teased back out into Recipes and Ingredients by the ORM

2. Two SQL queries. One to fetch the recipes, and then one to fetch the ingredients once we know the id's of the recipies.

3. A big ol' N+1 situation with 1 query to fetch recipes and then N additional queries to fetch the ingredients.

They all have various inefficiencies. What if we just returned the relational structures directly?
Wait, there are still places that charge per MMS?
I mean, we're splitting hairs on terminology here I feel like?

Apple does not want you to connect to iMessage with non-Apple hardware and Beeper uses old Apple binaries to let you do just that.

That, to me, does fall under the umbrella term of "circumventing" some measures that Apple put in place to stop you from doing that; but I guess I can see the point where you'd object to use of that word?

It will be fascinating to see how much this changes after Tesla put their next-gen vehicle into mass production.

I'm cautiously optimistic. The more we learn about Cybertruck, the more we learn they're seriously moving the yardstick forward.
