> E.g. the British pre-decimal duodecimal currency system?

It very much was not a duodecimal (powers of 12) system.

1 Farthing (f)

1 half-penny = 2f

1 penny (d) [0] = 4f

1 threepence = 3d = 12f

1 sixpence = 6d = 24f

1 shilling (s) = 12d = 48f

1 crown = 5s = 60d = 240f

1 mark = 13s 4d = 160d = 640f (this was purely a unit of account, and not used after about the 18th C)

1 pound (£) = 20s = 240d = 960f

1 guinea = 1£ 1s = 21s = 260d = 1040f

[0] (d) from "denarius", the Roman coin that was the antecedent of the silver penny.

> Most new cars are sold with features roughly in parity with Autopilot.

Really? My understanding is that many new vehicles have lane keep assist and dynamic cruise control, but that they are much more limited than Autopilot. For example, lots of cars have much tighter limits on the curves they will follow. They also don't have the UI that Autopilot has, which shows what cars it detects. This gives more of a sense of full autonomy (although I find it a bit creepy/worrisome when vehicles appear and disappear on the screen for no reason — one would think this would give people pause).

There are definitely more expensive vehicles (Cadillac, Mercedes) that have more robust systems, but my sense is that your typical Toyota, Subaru, etc. isn't close to Autopilot.
Yeah... That's not really a solution, is it? They're not pushing a common standard that way and the small banks will have to play stupid games instead of implementing "the" solution.

The cell phones aren’t a _great_ example, arguably; the US was behind Europe in mobile phone adoption and rollout for a long time, and in particular only adopted GSM rather late (not til the late noughties for some telcos!); at that point a large part of the US network was basically ripped and replaced. But the point still basically stands; Sweden, which had the first mobile phone network that we’d recognise as such today, has a competitive mobile phone network today.

My theory is that all cards will eventually be under $10, because cards like Mana Crypt are opportunities for WoTC to make money via reprints. I’ve only been playing/buying since March, but I’ve seen so many cards dropping dramatically in price, much more often than seeing a card shoot up in price. Reprints help drive sales and justify the higher prices for booster packs.

Cutting staff implies that, perhaps, they anticipate more Universes Beyond and reprints, and fewer original sets with original mechanics. Universes Beyond is great for Wizards because they don’t have to really invent cards, and fans will pay whatever they ask for cards from their favorite shows and movies and games.

Hylomorphism
Albatrosses are the greatest birds in the world. It’s 1:30 am where I am, and I will never miss a chance to extol the awe of the albatross.

Did you know that albatrosses have a higher heart rate while resting on the beach than while flying? That’s because they take advantage of an aerobatic technique called “dynamic soaring” which extracts energy from the ambient wind conditions and converts it to kinetic energy! (This is opposed to static soaring, which you typically see in vultures exploiting a solar thermal. The big difference between dynamic vs. static soaring is the direction of lift. Static is up so it’s easy. Dynamic is to the side so it’s harder.) It’s a sort of perpetual motion machine that albatrosses have developed evolutionarily. This is what enables them to fly enormous distances across the Pacific Ocean; they are able to not only conserve energy while flying, but they produce it as well! Amazing!

Final point, misinterpretations of “the rhyme of the ancient mariner” have given albatrosses a terrible name. In the story, it’s not the albatross that gives the mariner bad luck; it’s the fact he killed it. The albatross was a harbinger of good luck. In fact, the albatross arrived when the wind did not because it brought the wind, but because it followed it (the wind gradient over the sea is what enables dynamic soaring). “An albatross around your neck” is not a judgement of the albatross, but the killing of it. But somehow the albatross gets the bad name? Come on!
I really thought sudo would do the trick.
> By “late binding” the sales tax, they avoid having to churn the printed/published prices.

Strictly speaking, you don't have to change the total price if the tax rate changes, you can change the base price so that the total comes out the same. This is how prices are typically set in Europe, though vendors can of course change prices in response to tax rate changes, but it doesn't normally happen automatically.

Now, you might argue this hides the tax even more, if the customer doesn't even notice a price change when the rate changes, but one could also argue the latter is a good thing for the customer (if the business decides to eat the cost, at least for a while).
AFAIK the cost of producing semiconductors on a leading-edge node are so high you are forced to aggegate demand across seveal chip designers. Intel offering foundry services is evidence of this dynamic.

Edit: grammar.

Thanks! Will try out. Few feature ideas that I would personally like to have:
1. Time tracker, so we know how much time was spent on a particular task. And, a daily review section where we can see what was worked on the day and the time taken.
2. Ability to add tasks based on projects. Possibly, the ability to color code projects.
3. A tab/screen to manage projects, where we can add tasks and set the priority as 1, 2, 3, etc. 1 would show up on the NowDo screen.
A well-know thing is, rebuilding things was a fairly common (and for some, important) method for the local gov to raise funds.

One instance in our city almost 10 years back, they built a perfectly acceptable 4-lane city road, and then completely rebuilt it again just few years later.

Of course that method is no longer be used as wild as it did under chairman Xi and his uh... successful economic policy which greatly reduced the need of roads. But things are bit different back in 2016.
A relatively easy win here is to have a “stock” set of fins built into the motherboard behind the CPU socket. The CPU could get attached to it with a pad or paste on the back.

EV braking system complexity has nothing to do with EV brake changes. It works exactly the same, you bleed brakes, and there's a brake fluid reservoir somewhere, you have brake pads. Nothing magic. It's all the same stuff.

Coolant... sure there's less coolant, but there still is coolant, it's just usually for cooling the battery and motors and not the engine. Most are lifetime fill, although most gas engines have >100k mile coolant change intervals already.

What maintenance are you suggesting even needs to be done? Tire changes/rotations, cabin air filter changes... there isn't much else you even need to do.
Any S3 experts in the house?

Does Amazon S3 use erasure coding or a similar scheme to increase durability?

Is erasure coding or another redundancy/durability scheme the primary cause of the high latency?

Does Minio have a similar latency profile? What about other S3 software solutions.

I know it's a lot, but maybe someone wants to share?

If there are any papers or articles on the specifics of this, please share!
> Did you know that albatrosses have a higher heart rate while resting on the beach than while flying?

Even if flying takes very little effort as described, why would the resting heart rate be higher?
For me, I want to be able to query data faster.

SQL queries on S3 data are affected by read latencies. When you're doing huge aggregations and joins say on Parquet files, the engine has to read the Parquet metadata multiple times, and read the relevant portions of the data. There are multiple reads going on, and every read incurs latency.

Implementing a caching layer really helps, but it's not out of the box.

Agreed that keyboards are a good early project. To add to that, if you play video games, leverless arcade controllers can be a fun build also. Pretty similar overall as far as parts and shape, but the firmware they run (stuff like GP2040-CE or HayBox) make them act as controllers instead of keyboards, and they can even work on game consoles. Specifically I'd recommend the Flatbox rev 5[0] and the Open-Frame1[1].

I read an article that said that Tesla leads luxury vehicle satisfaction above Lexus (JD Power), that satisfaction was growing as of 2022, young men drive luxury car sales, and that those young men primarily shop based on technology.

Surprise surprise, quality of materials per dollar isn’t always what guides buying decisions.

If that was the case, brands like Lincoln, Jeep, Dodge, and Maserati would be gone by now.

This is probably why Tesla emphasizes speed and performance in its marketing, because it is a spec where EVs are very price competitive. If you’re a young man who wants a fast car (a pretty common desire in that demographic) you’ll have a hard time finding gas cars as cheap as a Model 3 that can get to 60MPH in 3 seconds.
Mitigating stereotypical biases in text to image generative systems
Not OP: but this is what computing is coming to.

Zero installs, all web apps, where users don't control their data. The average users computer ability has no doubt dropped over time as software is catering for the lowest common denominator.

As this catering becomes more popular, this is the expectation people have, only original hardware vendors will be installing native apps. Sucks, but its the graveyard that we've built.
There's something comical about rust-y things using the rust concept in naming their products.

Rust tends to imply "we made it better by using rust instead of X" whereas it also describes something that has corroded.

This is further exacerbated by the fact that old dilapidated things accumulate rust, so the further from new something is, the more rusty it is.

People that shit at GNU forget that without it, Linux would never ever taken off.

It was the AT&T vs BSD lawsuit, giving uncertainty to BSD's future, combined with the maturity of GNU userspace that gave Linux the opportunity to be relevant at all.

Nowadays it is the GNU religion.

Personally I couldn't care less of what shape of UNIX I get to use, though I do acknowledge that GNU religion is what allowed me not to spend endless nights at the university compute center fighting for a DG/UX or Solaris terminal, instead we could work on assignments from the comfort of our homes.
Registers are quite expensive in space and power, because multiple at once have to be accessible in many places.

If you add more registers, the cost per register increases rapidly, and you very quickly hit your limits.

If you make registers wider, that's still very expensive, and you introduce extra steps to get to your data most of the time.

So no, you can't do that in a reasonable way.
I think many Chinese companies freely share code between them, regardless if it's open source or not. They just don't care about licenses and IP the way the West does.

The whole "their own competitor" (Zelle) thing seems sort of weird.

It hit the market well after people were seeing FedNow on the horizon. Why bother building something expensive that's obviously going to be obsolete in a few years?

If it was meant to compete with PayPal/Cashapp/Venmo, it was 10-15 years too late for that. Anyone who wanted it had it already.

I wonder if the value of Zelle is that it's still a private club. The customer safety and confidence stories have been terrible-- rejecting accountability, ignoring fraud and misuse. The banks are incentivized to say "our network, our rules."

FedNow, as a government entity, will eventually respond to controversial political forces like "people expect to be made whole in the event of fraud" or "payment platforms should provide a means of leverage in customer disputes".

Apple does demand better conditions.

For the last decade+ most reports of child/illegal labor conditions in factories that manufacture apple products have sourced apple's own supplier audits, which is super great as a message for other corporations: if you audit companies and discover and report illegal conditions (and terminate contracts due to them, which apple also does) all the reporting will be "this company employed child labor"[1] etc.

You also get failure to understand scale of companies like Foxconn. Recall a few years back when everyone was attacking apple due to a spate of suicides at Foxconn factories, despite the suicide rate being lower than the rest of china, and iirc most US cities. The problem being the reports were "X suicides at this factory" but not including "this single factory has 400 thousand employees". On the plus side the reporting meant apple forced Foxconn to address this "problem", but that involved things like suicide nets, so I don't know if that included steps like providing counseling, real therapists, etc.

So most of the suppliers/manufacturers apple uses (esp. Foxconn) work for _every_ tech company, but apple is the only tech company that does supplier audits, and requires suppliers to compensate victims (and for kids, requires them to them support the kid's future education), and so is the only company providing regular reports that let reporters produce sourced articles saying "Apple employs children". Note of course that if apple and google use the same supplier, but apple is the one doing an audit, and publishing a report, those articles will not reference any other company.

Now all that aside I want to be clear: do not think I am saying (nor think) Apple is a spuriously "good" tech company. Most studies basically say all corporations are psychopaths if you analyze them as if they're person, and Apple is a corporation. 15-20 years ago there were lots of reports of apple suppliers being terrible (abuse, child labor, etc, etc) which apply to every other company but articles about apple get press so that's the reporting. It would be naive to think that absent that reporting apple would have started its audit system. The reality is Apple is more acutely aware of (and maybe impacted by?) its market image than other tech companies, so Apple started audits to ensure it does not get that bad publicity. That reducing child labor, reducing worker abuse, etc is a "good" thing for the victims is just happenstance in this context.

It's depressing that despite the clear overlap in suppliers only a few companies perform any audits (a quick check of the big tech cos seemed to only find apple and google publishing supply change reports, though there's a lot of overlap between the two).

[1] The child labor thing is fun when you look at the republican states in the US that are aggressively pushing for child labor to protect those poor businesses from the invisible hand of the market requiring them to pay market rates for labor.
> When people treat Bitcoin as a speculative investment, what they’re really doing is expecting even more people in the future to consider Bitcoin THE ledger to want to own units in, which would make the units in the ledger even more valuable. But the type of value they’re expecting to see more of is already there: a huge number of people think the Bitcoin ledger is the ledger to own units in, and comparatively very few care about owning units in the forks or alternatives.

Doesn't that describe a pyramid scheme that's not yet bust?
