The FCC didn't even give Starlink a chance to run late or underdeliver, they assessed the program and capability and decided it wasn't where they wanted to spend grant money. So they aren't being punished, they are being passed over for a better option.

I wonder if more people are realizing this and tuning out of those shows, too. I noticed I was watching a bunch of true crime stuff and after a while realized I was really just wasting my time since I didn't really learn anything new and I was just introducing "bad people" into my life in some ways. There was no net gain for me, other than feeling smug that there are bad and dumb people out there doing bad, evil things and that I don't interact with them, thankfully.
I’m not a huge Threads user (I’m more of a Hachyderm type myself) but it really would make a great addition to the fediverse. I didn’t expect it to ever really happen, of course, so this is very encouraging news.

For individuals no. For society long term to a point. Lower property values allow young people to get an affordable place to live and leaves them money leftover for other things they want to do. However it is negative for those who already own. There is probably some minimum value as well that you don't want to go below - but I don't know how you would figure that out.
This makes no sense. Solo entrepreneurs, Etsy/Shopify stores and other random small businesses aren't buying giant billboards in the middle of cities, they are getting customers through Google and Facebook ads. Big tech literally invented direct consumer targeting.
Starlink also just launched in earnest a couple years ago, and is experiencing meteoric growth rates of ~100% a year.

Self-hosted is possible - but you'll be tending to your server a lot. Media cache fills up quickly, upgrades can be complex, even a moderately popular post can eat bandwidth.

It is certainly possible but it's like the early days of blogging. If you want to learn how to run a system, do it. If you want to spend your time interacting with people rather than machines, use a dedicated service like mas.to.

Experts are wrong all the time. The experts said that solar prices would come down but were off by nearly an order of magnitude in how long it took.

With something this hard it's extremely tough to tell for sure when it will happen and often progress goes in chunks where it seems like it's going to happen but then doesnt.
There aren't any magic solutions, but I think there are a lot of ideas that could incentivize affordable housing for people who actually live here.

A number of my neighbors are Prop 13 'princelings'. Their parents snapped up a bunch of housing, have next to 0 annual cost, and extract fantastic wealth renting them out, all while receiving a huge tax subsidy. This position passes to the next generation, who essentially become absentee landlords and are heavily incentivized to prevent more housing.

A number of places in Santa Cruz and the rest of the county are completely underutilized because these families prefer to do absolutely nothing and collect insane rents on dilapidated properties to the detriment of everybody else who lives here.
I totally understand. There are limitations with the browser-based tool like it being laggy depending on the size of the file and the ads are annoying but it gets the job done in most cases without making a big spend buying photoshop.
If you think you can solve CA's addiction to cars, I'm all ears.
too many people want to live there so the options are

1) only the rich and lucky get to live there
2) build more housing
3) make the area less desirable

2 seems like the best option. Option 1 and 2 both could have the side-effect of causing 3.
There are 660.000 death per year in UK, so it's a 1.5% increase. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_causes_of_death_by_rat... it's similar to the road accidents.
Awesome! So happy to hear that.
This is in comparison to launching satellites into space. I think most people would agree it's probably more along the lines of "trivial" when compared to that.
I hate wearing glasses. And have to due to life.

With posers who could now wear camera enabled glasses for social media and likes for some reason angers me.

I've been made fun of, bullied, outcasted all my teenage life because of them. And now that it's becoming a thing kind of makes me feel like I want to punch those in the face for all the torment I've had.
Fair point, by "beat" I mean create a sustainable business. I think that in a lot of cases orienting a company around building a $100M/yr business and a $1B/yr business are mutually exclusive, because product/sales/marketing teams invariably are incentivized to focus only on the high upside speculative future stuff rather than shoring up the existing business lines. So agreed, you're not really beating them at becoming the "Uber for X", you're just building a business that is in the X space?
It depends on where you live I suppose, in So Cal houses are such a good investment that just holding gets you gains near the SP500, and I've seen a few surpass their engineering salaries by renting out 2-3.
Based on what's going on in Seattle and San Francisco, you blame the big industry.
NYC and HK are perfect examples where adding supply did not solve the problem of high cost of living. That's the risk in Santa Cruz - that we lose the unique the character and it remains expensive.

Yep! I'd rather explicitly + differentially tax vs offer a tax credit for homeownership. Providing a revenue vs a debit against revenue.

And to your point about the benefit being small, I'd suggest the tax should be fairly punitive. Not enough to make profiting off a rental impossible, but to make it barely beat, idk, inflation.

I've even thought about the idea of making it lever-up depending on the cumulative number of months you lease the property for. 12 months = X, 24 months = 2X, 36 months = cap of 3X, where 3X is that magically-painful amount that makes it almost impossible to make a >5% Internal Rate of Return.
Anyone else having access restricted problem?
I know many many people who have moved to SC from the Bay Area. I mention the proximity because it’s relevant with regards to people becoming familiar and then desiring to move there (whether retired as you mentioned or working remotely), and not because it’s a commuter town.
I tend to agree with you on some level but I would stipulate that people are talking about something specific when they talk about consciousness or sentience. There are entire fields of study dedicated to understanding cognition and reasoning IE cognitive psychology and as far as I know the nature of consciousness is still an actively studied question. My argument is that as far as ML and "AI" go its a moot point. It doesnt really matter one way or the other if the the model is "conscious". What really matters is if the model is capable in a given domain. Capabilities are far more important than whatever process gives rise to the capabilities. If someone is able to use ML to solve Go or prove a theorem it shouldnt matter if that ML model is sentient-because the game is solved or the theorem has a proof.
LTD broadband couldn't raise the cash.
Yeah I messed that up. After reading more the denial was focused on the fact that Starlink didn't refute they were not consistently delivering speeds and latency that matched the tier they bid on, and their plan to bridge that gap wasn't convincing to the reviewers or the Commission.

DALL-E 3 doesn't have Stable Diffusion's killer feature, which is the ability to use an image as input and influence that image with the prompt.

(DALL-E pretends to do that, but it's actually just using GPT-4 Vision to create a description of the image and then prompting based on that.)

Live editing tools like https://drawfast.tldraw.com/ are increasingly being built on top of Stable Diffusion, and are far and away the most interesting way to interact with image generation models. You can't build that on DALL-E 3.
As a data point, the gwenn/gosqlite one for GitHub returns field data correctly even when an individual fields' data type doesn't match the column definition.

That's important when processing data from untrusted sources (user generated content, etc).

No idea how it compares to the others performance wise though. :)

There was another one before ipchains - ipfw.
AFAIK it worked out well. Works more-less the same as before, shipped quite a bit of stuff and drastically reduced costs.

Because most people who seem wealthy have a lot of money issues as well. And divorce is not only caused by poverty. For example, Christianity looks down on divorce and there are fewer Christians in the US.

But this proves the lead point that fatherlessness does not cause crime, poverty does.
I agree, however there’s a massive gulf between people underachieving and someone being capable of understanding the entire engineering knowledge of humanity.
> That shouldn't exempt them from holding up their agreements from when they were still competing for market space.

What agreement? They offered a service with no guarantees that it would be provided in perpetuity. If they offered "free unlimited storage for life" and then backed out of that based on some legalese on page 75 of their EULA then I agree that would be slimy. But that is not what happened here.

> they are able to momentarily drive their prices down, eat the losses long enough to run their competition out of business

This can happen and when it does it is anti-competitive. But that is not what happened in this case. Do you really think that Google thought they could drive AWS and Microsoft out of business with below cost storage on Google Drive? Seems unlikely. And even if they somehow managed to do that, they would immediately have competitors undercutting them on price again as soon as they raised prices enough.

What seems much more likely to me is they offered unlimited storage as a competitive feature of Google Workspace thinking it would still be profitable even with some customers using much more storage. But because we can't have nice things a bunch of people realized they could essentially use the unlimited plan as an ultra-cheap object storage service and were storing 100s of TB of data. Rather than raise everyone's prices to subsidize bad actors, it seems much more reasonable to just discontinue unlimited storage.
Existing supply has a lot to do with building new. It is a very important input in the consideration if you will build. Too many vacant units and you are at risk of values going down and not making your investment work. Too few vacant units and you know there is demand so you should build.

Is there any hope for the culture changing? Interest rates are up. "Enshittification" started trending this year.
Maybe you're playing a semantic game with "console", but both the 3DS and Wii U were initially sold at a loss. I think the Wii U may have always been sold at a loss. (Edit: Apparently only the the first three years, though I guess it's questionable the degree to which it sold at all after that.)

HD at 720p is more than enough for a 6" screen. The Switch is literally the only capable handheld that could do that and still does. It doesn't offer excellence, but it offers good enough. As already written, the Steam Deck replaced it a half a decade later. Not sure what your point is. Everything grows generatially in capability and capacity, including handhelds. I would not compare the Gameboy to the Gameboy Advance under such limitations.
>I haven't denied any such thing. I'm literally just saying it's a gamble.

Well, you said it was "at best a gamble". I don't know how else I'm supposed to interpret that besides you saying there was "at best" a 50/50 shot of either outcome happening from the perspective of the ones that announced it. I'm going to assume this is not what you meant.

Anyway, since it's established that we're in agreement (maybe? It's not easy to figure out your point of view) that executives are generally able to know with some degree of certainty >50% that their actions will create a specific effect on their stock price. And we also can agree that it is their decision when to announce and execute these actions. It's clearly and obviously a problem that they also are aware of when the stock that they hold in large quantities will be bought and sold.

> Is it a problem? It seems unsolvable if so, unless we should ban CEOs from receiving stock compensation?

If we can agree on the previous bit, then I have no idea why we should throw up our hands and be like "well I guess this is an impossible problem to solve". It's really not. Just be more restrictive with the windows in which executives are allowed to sell. Better yet spread their entire buy/sell order over the course of the year. Or even better still, don't allow them to sell stock AT ALL until they are not in charge or aware of high level decisions at the company.

CEO pay is on average 399x their average employee(https://www.epi.org/publication/ceo-pay-in-2021/). Then, we also allow them to pump their portfolio on a whim at the expense of their employees. I would say personally I don't really care if their compensation suffers, since they've probably already 10x'd my lifetime earnings in their last year of work, and I'd happily switch places with them financially if they're so hard done by.

> As we know, outside of some Tesla models, that didn't really happen.

As YOU know.

The Tegra X1 (which the switch used) was never used in any production automotive application, correct. But you mentioned Tesla, so let's talk about other Tegra generations.

Other Tegra generations were used in Teslas in varying quantities (Tegra 2, 3, and K1). Mercedes has been shipping Tegra in their "MBUX" cars for a few years now as well. A couple of Chinese companies are shipping Tegra via NVD. Volvo, Land Rover, and Jaguar are also going to be shipping it shortly as well.
Yes, it is completely necessary for growth.
>What makes you think they even want that? They want to do drugs, they want to not work. we should re-criminalize public drug use, followed by not allowing people to set up permanent residence anywhere they please.

Any organization that actually helped deal with homelessness with the intent to help people, rather than the intent to "clean up the streets" (especially in countries that "solved", compared the US, this problem) will be more than happy to explain to you all the ways in which this claim is just complete nonsense, and will be equally happen to explain to you how much harm yelling "they're all criminals" does.

To pretend that people choose to be homeless, or that homeless folks somehow have a better life when they're not on drugs that dull that experience and so should be trivially capable of choosing not to do drugs, is simply bonkers.
Architects keep saying that, but buildings with two stairs have better records in fires.
Monterey - particularly Seaside, Sand City and Marina - seem like an ideal location for future growth with more open area and connections to Salinas while still maintaining the beach/seaside access.
I actually entirely agree with you. Nobody needs to take on accommodations they don't want to. And that was kind of my point; you should be aware that choosing Discord limits your participants and also limits your participants ability to engage with your project.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing; may even be a positive aspect. In a quickly changing project, maybe it's good if your documentation isn't too "sticky" and the solution to a problem isn't low-touch "read the docs" but high-touch "ask me so that I can experience the pain points"
Lots of entrepreneurs got their education at UCSC, but typically they put their companies outside of town (not many employees want to move to town. There are some exceptions...)

Santa Cruz students have no more difficulty getting into UCSC than other parts of the state. But the UC has gotten extremely selective due to the same reason housing is short in Santa Cruz: it's not been properly sized to allow for standard population growth in the US.
You mean you can BETA test this in a life or death situation and put non-consenting individuals at risk because you want to flex your toy right? It’s demonstrably dangerous and shouldn’t be allowed on public roads.

Yes, up is better than out. I'm happy the Santa Cruz planning commission has sanely decided to start by building downtown up.
The market based solution will work about as well as telling prospective employers, friends, family, your kids friends etc that you don't accept calls from Verizon. It won't work and nobody will do it.

Your regulatory solution on the other hand appears well thought out and workable.
I know it should be a warning sign to just not drink coke, but I've instead taken it as a "this is literally for filling a glass already prefilled to the brim with ice like in the ads" kind of thing.

Because undiluted coca cola is just honestly not very good, and extremely uh, I'm not sure how to put it, practically pungent
The law is incredibly clear on these things, lawyers can't help you. The only thing they can do is confuse people who don't actually know the law and their legal rights - that does sometimes happen, but I'd say a small company is just as likely to do so.
These extremely high housing costs in coastal California areas are really a two part problem - they are not an infrastructure or building houses problem but a human nature problem and a regulation problem.

The first issue(human nature) is the weather and lifestyle of these places is extremely desirable to people given most of the US is either very humid a majority of the year, very cold during the winter with snow, or extremely hot(100F for 20+ days of the year). So you have this extremely mild climate that is very family friendly and is by the beach and is also next to a funnel of money from the entire planet - silicon valley, where millions are getting extremely rich. It doesn't take alot to realize that the market is going to make these places very expensive due to housing supply and demand.

As for the second point(regulation) due to excessive building code regulations which make the cost of housing artificially high to ensure new buildings are up to code, even if you build hundreds or thousands of new units they are going to be very pricey(per unit) and unless the govt. heavily subsidies these units they will never be affordable to anyone making less than 200k a year(its just building materials, cost of labor and requiring the need for the building to be up to code). And then you have the first point being that you build the new units and people from all over the country and of course the bay area will jump on them and you are back to square one(high housing costs).

I don't see how this problem resolves itself as there is alot of money coming into the US the past few years during the tech boom and this is a absolute side effect of this unprecedented flow of money into CA and a few other places on earth. But trying to fight human nature and the market is a exercise in futility given how well thats gone in California the past 7-8 years.

As a side note I grew up in the south sf bay area and spent alot of time in santa cruz with my friends and know the area very, very well. Kind of surprised to say the least how expensive its gotten compared to the sf bay area proper.
In the last 6 months, I have published two books on my "free time" while working a full-time job. It wasn't unsustainable, just a bit more busy. I might even do it again in the next 6 months!

Essentially: it's rare that people want to publish books and dedicate them to the public domain. People who write a lot are writers who make a living from writing and they write on Substack, for newspapers, large publishing houses, et al. They are not interested in dedicating words to the public domain. Thusly, Laniakea Books is not an unsustainable operation :)
They did have such a plan. In fact, to get unlimited storage, an individual had to buy 3 (And I think later, 5) seats. And it was indeed not limited, at least as far as I could tell.

Until these got abused, my guess by pirate crowd to store huge media collections (eg search “plex gdrive”), and the plan went away. Did google promise they would keep this plan up forever?

Unlimited does not mean infinite and does not mean forever. It means you are getting access/capacity as you need, without “needing to worry about details” /presuming reasonable usage/. They were not fired as a customer. No limits were imposed. Until google decided to end it for everyone, likely specifically due to customers as above.

What if someone stored 200PB on their “unlimited” account? Would you expect google to give a 5 year warning to make sure someone had enough time to download their data to their laptop?
Why not just build south of SJ and east?

Idk why all these people always pick the worst places to build and act surprised nobody wants more building there. Why not pick a reasonable place to begin with like somewhere that IS NOT developed.

It’s like people who want to turn Hawaii into a freakin resort mall.

Just don’t. Let SC be a cute beach town. Go Airbnb there.

People need to be reasonable and build somewhere that’s undeveloped. This is about as insane as proposing to build a high rise in sunset district. Why? Just go live elsewhere.

And I say this as someone who doesn’t own property. Save money and if you really want to own a house buy something in a up and coming area.

People literally did this throughout history. They moved to new places and developed those. Way easier today you’re not gonna travel in a caravan and suffer illnesses or get raided.

Let’s try to protect the environment and not ruin the few nice idyllic places we have left. Or better yet repeal prop 13.
