> Because this isn't about some "common sense" idea of what constitutes a store in consumer's eyes

You misunderstand the law.

Common sense is bedrock defining feature of the law.

There are all sorts of laws that have words and interpretations which could be argued either way.

And the way that we choose between those interpretations is often through things like juries. IE, an every day layman's "common sense".

> it's about how this particular law defines a store,

And how that law defines a store, and could be interpreted between competing definitions is through common sense. It's through a human, a person, using their common sense to understand the law, and ultimately decide if that is how a store is defined.
I was quoted around $80k (in central EU) all in for 50KW heating unit. About a third was drilling of silly number of holes (water-water heat pump). Price didn't include updating radiators / installing underfloor heating in the house itself.

If I replaced wood pellet boiler I use right now with a heat pump I'd break even in about 20 years, which is longer than the expected service life of the pump..
Planning / A* search is hardly a bunch of ifs, and is a crucial component of these systems. Expert systems are closer to a bunch of ifs, but that overlooks that the challenge is in coming up with the conditions, not writing if statements.
This is because almost all of the critical EUV tech was developed by the US DOE and a US industry consortium plus a US valley company called Cymer and was transferred to ASML as a political move that excluded the Japanese companies in the space.

This is not to say ASML is not an impressive company, but it's amazing to see it held up as proof of Europe having a real tech industry.

This all used to be on the ASML site, but they appear to have scrubbed it. See https://imgur.com/gallery/8G08q2c
> a million dollars with a “few people

I’m mostly talking about larger studios with at least 15-20+ people (which isn’t even necessarily that many, the mobile freemium shovelware market is huge).

> massive success.

It’s not though. 1 million is really not a lot (I’m of course not talking about small indie/hobbyist developers that’s an entirely different segment).

Also as bizarre as that whole pricing model debacle was in certain cases they actually made the engine cheaper:
- revenue limit is now per project and 200k instead of 200k (so it’s totally free bellow that/no install fees/no subscription)
- no more mandatory splash screen

The royalty/install only kicks in after 1 mil revenue AND 1 mil users anyway. Also for non free games the install fee can be extremely low:

e.g. your game sells for $20 on average and you sell 12,500 per month you’ll only end up paying about $1350 or 0.54%. On a yearly basis that’s extremely cheap compared to Unreal.

> Unity appears to be an ever growing dumpster fire

Yeah, that’s another matter. I certainly am not a huge fun of many aspects of the engine and especially their overall approach constantly shipping new half finished/broken features abandoning them and then replacing with something eve more broken in a couple of years…

That said it’s still a relatively decent product for certain uses and still massively ahead of any alternatives (including Unreal and Godot) in some segments.

> Laughing a bit at your $200k game devs for an indie studio.

I was certainly not thinking about indie developers. Although while indie is a pretty broad term, $100-200k (overall cost per employee) is certainly not at all unreasonable even for more serious indie studios that are actually making money and are in the US (probably even on the low end, I really doubt you could get a fulltime developer for 100k (salary + taxes + overhead even in the current market..)
This rule applies to the taxiing, takeoff, and descent into landing phases of flight only. It isn't enforced above 10k feet. Idle chatter is important for numerous reasons in any professional working environment and it isn't a reasonable conclusion to say that it should not be allowed in this one.

It's also unfathomably unreasonable to call for storage of all voice recordings of the flight deck in perpetuity. That's ridiculous and is privacy invading. If you want to improve the state of this industry, you are looking in the wrong place.

My 6900XT FE has _terrible_ coil whine. I can troubleshoot some types of issues with my models by ear.

Stress is neccessary to grow and even to keep going, I'm with you in that. But I think the article is right in pointing out that there's too much focus into some inner force that makes you accomplish everything.

This has been going for a while, and coupled with other factors, I don't think it's paying good dividends. I think that everyone paying attention can see the steep increase in depression and medication. It's not only the US, it's happening in Europe too.

My impression is that we're removing people from their support networks, manufacturing lonely individuals, and eroding their financial float line through housing.

I don't think mental thoughness or resilience can overcome this for too long, and many people is exposed to this stressors for many, many years, if not their entire life.

Even Taleb, who is really tiresome talking about stress, recognizes that stress is only useful if it is more or less bounded.

Wonder what that accountants ability to keep clients around looks like vs. Intentful Google searches, and what that market would look like.

A national park is a vibrant ecosystem that can be accessed by potentially millions of people, all of whom might have some thing they want to leave behind. The Moon is a lifeless, airless rock which is only accessible to a tiny number of people and only in a limited sense.

The concerns for preservation are just so different between the two. As far as we know national parks are unique in the Solar system, maybe beyond. As far as we know lifeless, airless rocks are downright common, the only real thing going for the moon is that it's relatively close by.

It is sad that the popularity of internet has reached such proportions that people are no longer responsible for what they read by their own choice, but rather people seem to be responsible for what they write, regardless of the fact that anyone can choose not to read it.

Internet posts are just text, yet people act as if we're forcing others to read what we write. Imagine if writing books that make other people feel bad was banned - what a culture would that be.

When you get down to the lower marketed brands, like Pentium and Celeron, and sometimes i3, things get really messy.

If it's got a suffix, it's a core core (having to say core core is of course, an Intel naming problem too), and if it's got a prefix, it's an atom core. And of course, the numbers are offset from the other brands for no particular reason.
Yes, Carta has tens of thousands of customers.
Beacon has a pretty specific meaning in the BLE world. A BLE beacon sends a broadcast out every now and then* that says “hey I exist, here’s my ID”. Another device can scan for these “advertisement” and do something when a particular kind of device is detected.

An example use case is a museum app displaying info to a user when they walk up to a particular exhibit.

* the interval can be set from 10ms to ~10s. The radio can be turned off in between advertisements, which is where the “LE” part comes from.
The lander also contains non-scientific payloads, including DNA from former US presidents, including George Washington, John F Kennedy and Dwight Eisenhower, which could now remain in space. The ashes of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek, as well as those of former stars of the TV series, are also onboard.

Did we not always try as much as possible not to contaminate things in space? And this seems especially pointless, who needs presidential DNA and TV star ash on the moon?
Thanks for highlighting this.

This fix is to demonstrate more sophisticated fixes, and it does require human input to determine the correct domain and IP config. We are introducing in the product for the ability for humans to add additional context pre-fix generation, provide feedback to generate a new fix after it's been generated and edit the proposed fix.

This seems to be geared towards state governments (i.e. DMVs):

I'm biased here, but perfect memory and decentralized individual-level ambient data collection is going to be the norm in 5 years. In the interim, things like this that only save editable/deletable text will make people comfortable with it.

If someone can edit their recorded memories whenever they want with 0 effort, they can't do anything malicious with what I tell them anyway, so what's the concern?
Wikipedia prefers secondary sources to primary sources (as befits an encyclopaedia), and the blog post is a primary source for most of its content, so it would still be frowned upon.

A ton of bridges around the country are near their end of life and are in disrepair; something like a third of all bridges. This is mostly because so many bridges were built in the mid 20th century. The good news is states are starting to pay attention to this and are allocating more funds to address it.
ASML relies on the EUV technology developed in the United States by DARPA, which it has acquired by buying an American company it was initially exclusively licensed to (Nikon and Canon were the first in line to license it, but the deal didn’t happen due to “national security reasons”).

So, ASML is not a paragon of European innovation. Its success is accidental, and stems from a technology originated in the United States. European Silicon Valley is a contradiction in terms.
> what the most opinionated people are really thinking when there are no filters and rules to silence them

I'm not sure what "most opinionated" would mean or how'd you determine relative levels, but I would bet whatever metric you chose wouldn't find the most opinionated people on 4chan. Also just because people say things online doesn't mean they actually hold that opinion.

> I also tried to use Firefox for a while out of a vague objection to Google and Chromium's browser hegemony; it was clearly slower than Chromium at just about everything, though, and it would regularly lock up the Pi, forcing a hard reboot.

There's absolutely no point to continue past this point. No computer made in 1990 or later has any excuse to completely lock up or crash unless there's a real hardware fault.

If my early '90s Macintosh LC III+ with 36 megs of memory running NetBSD can compile Perl in nine days without crashing, then why should a modern computer running a supposedly mature OS be crashable?

On the other hand, a well known issue with older Raspberry Pis is the fact that using their wifi for large amounts of data transfer often caused issues. Most of the time wifi would just die, but sometimes the whole machine would lock up. It'd have been nice if the author had tried even just a little to narrow down the issue rather than just indirectly blaming Firefox.

Something crashes? The first thing is to try a different OS. Still happens? Return the hardware.

I'm driving a Subaru Solterra right now, and it has the same kind of knob. I find it awkward as well. But I suspect that safety is the reason for using a rotary knob. I think a simple forward/reverse lever is too easy to accidentally hit. It's far harder to accidentally twist the knob while driving.

Of course, a forward/reverse lever could be done with a button to push to unlock it, just like automatic transmissions had for decades. That would be ideal for me.

"A trackless path": a book review you shouldn't be reading
I don’t think there’s an official “sabotage Firefox” memo waiting to be subpoenaed. I think it’s more along the lines of Google only focusing QA on Chrome and Safari, figuring that they save money and, probably never written down, any problems just make their browser look better.

This keeps happening over and over for Google at a rate far in excess of other major tech companies so we know they don’t make an effort to test with Firefox, and it’s why I’d like regulators to force anyone making a browser used by more than, say, 100k people to be obligated to test in other browsers on every site their larger organization operates and have a maximum time to patch any compatibility or performance issue which isn’t due to a browser not implementing a W3C standard. The goal would be to cover things like YouTube using the Chrome web component API for ages after the standard shipped and serving a slow polyfill to non-Chrome browsers.
I have noticed with firefox google will take forever to load sometimes. I will hit refresh and the url will actually change somewhat, then the page loads instantly. Seems I sometimes get served this dead end url.
1. I wouldn't call Candy Crush "indie" either, so I'm not sure what in your mind is "opposite of AAA". It is still a game owned by what is considered a AAA studio with AAA level of funding (P.S. I don't think Candy Crush is made in Unity, but an easy example of "small looking game that has a bunch of labor put into it"). Same with Zynga (owned by Take Two) and Popcap (owned by EA).

2. I simply used AAA in the traditional means of "how much budget does the game have?". Desptie the presentation, these mobile games do have hundreds working on them, and have millions in development and even more in marketing. At that scale, you very much want to delegate out support if possible. And that's where Unity comes in.

And with games like Genshin Impact (Made in Unity, but with some asterisks on how Unity China is structured), the term will only get muddier as a certain slice of mobile games blur more into the console/PC market.

That's really interesting. I observe miscommunication all the time and often feel it's great people just not quite clicking with how they express things.

Although the prose and storytelling is . . non-optimal . . I found Stross' explanation for the Fermi problem extremely convincing, from the novel Accelerando[1]. I think it's sort-of called the Bandwidth Explanation. Basically, the apparent lack of intelligent life in the universe is an illusion created by a shortage of bandwidth.

I'm going to try and work through it here.

As a civilization spreads, the outer nodes get "dumber" as the speed of light begins to cut into bandwidth/response. So agents get much more bang for their buck increasing their complexity while staying inside the light-second (or light-hour, with caching) sphere, right up until computational complexity is nearing the atomic level (i.e., "computronium").

So you get these planetary-sized shells of computronium, bound by the bandwidth limit of C. Human-equivalent intelligence gets a simulation space that's larger than a few hundred thousand Earths[0]. I'm probably not explaining it all that well, but Accelerando is free on the internet[1]. Like I said - not amazing literature, but pretty neat ideas.

The sad part of all this is that civilizations reach this hard halt where they've converted their systems into computronium - they come to a sudden halt, and no way to press on outwards, as they're all held in thrall to the light sphere.

[0] I challenge the notion of "simulation space" or even the notion that "downloaded humans" would stay human for very long (they wouldn't). Another problem: Stross' system is a little bit magical in terms of its infrastructure, because a fog of undifferentiated laser-connected micro-computers is going to have terrible latency across a 1 AU distance, and there's no way for a central authority to route things. But Stross is way smarter than I am . . so who knows?

I had a Nibe 640P before this. It had broken down almost every year for some 5 years before it finally gave up this year: it started leaking, several parts were not working anymore according to the technician and according to him, they couldn't even buy anymore some of the parts (the machine was only about 15 years old!)... so I didn't have a choice but to replace it... the previous times I fixed it cost me between 4K and 10K SEK (change of some electrical component or sensor that broke, replacement of the actual ventilator a couple of times)... If I could keep fixing it reliably I probably would... but these days, after 15 years every technology changed so much that what you've got becomes a museum piece that can't be fixed. Same thing happened at almost the same time to my alarm system :( Sektor Alarm didn't even offer to fix it up... it was using 2G which apparently is slowly dying in Sweden. At least they got me a very good discount and I spent "only" about 5k SEK to get a very modern alarm system with cameras, vibration sensor, mobile app and bells and whistles :). But again, I'd rather just keep what was working if I could as to me it feels like a huge waste to throw away so many electronic components which are mostly working just fine... however, you just can't do it anymore.
Maybe it's cheaper to blow up a few rockets and iterate, than paying the cost of trying to perfect it on the first try?
