> “Ten blue links” · I remember the dismissive phase well: Ten blue links was boring, it was the past, it was not what people wanted. They want answers to their questions, complete and correct, so much more wholesome than an abbreviated sampling of the General Internet Uproar. And that was partly right: When I type in “-12C in F” or “population of vietnam” I just want a number.

> But those Ten Blue Links surfaced by the PageRank-that-was had a special magic. I found them intensely human, a reflection of the voices populating what remains of the Web, the only platform without a vendor. This was true when I was there and I said so, but was laughed at.

Ten blue links are great on desktop, not so great on mobile, where websites take longer to load and the cookie banner takes up half the page. There's a reason that kids use TikTok as search engine on mobile.

Search engines should work completely different on desktop and mobile. Give me ten blue links on desktop, give me an AI generated answer on mobile. This might be true for other websites as well. Maybe responsive design was a mistake.

You had to pay.. 4-5k/mo for daycare, at work?

I don't know if they ever built it because I left prior but Rackspace was going/did add a daycare at their hq (castle) and as far as I know it would be/was free.. At least there was never any mention of cost before I left.

Big difference in number of employees but also massive difference in quarterly profits.

A lot of the younger child-free people were angry about it and wanted a bar or something added for them.

I've never worked anywhere with a daycare except a Golds Gym in high school so I'm not familiar with how they usually go.
The iPhone was $600 at launch, and when features were compared to other (much cheaper) phones, it didn’t stack up. It didn’t take videos, had a bad camera, slow internet speeds, etc, etc, etc.

The iPhone didn’t win because it had the most features, it won because it made the features it had much easier to use… so people actually used them. Other phones could technically do stuff, but it was so annoying to do, no one did it. Not long before the iPhone launched I had a friend get a Moto Q. She was determined to get the most out of it and learn how to use everything. She was carrying a massive manual with her in her purse. The iPhone did those things without the need to study a manual for weeks or months.
Yeah, but that's for the premeditated stuff, not for opportunistic stuff. A lot of crime is opportunistic and law enforcement will have a better time following up on those.
Private companies in market economies have always been incentivized to maximize profit, and one way to do that is to charge as possible for as little as possible. Nothing has changed. The only difference here is now they have a bunch of people cheering them on for saving the planet when they do this.

If you cheer on all other forms of shrinkflation, then sure, this is something you would also like.

I should be clear that I don't think profit maximization is bad, I'm pro market economies, and this is just a fact of life in a market economy, but it's also nothing new, and it has nothing to do with saving the planet.

The main thing I'm bothered about is that this practice is cheered on by environmentalists when it is done by a company that has done everything possible to disrupt market dynamics. If one laundry detergent manufacturer does shrinkflation, I can fairly easily switch to another, if MSFT does shrinkflation on cloud storage, and they bundled it with everything else, I can't easily switch.

MSFT will also keep doing this, their first aim with this to become irreplaceable, and then they can start jacking up prices, and now they also figured out how to get some praise for saving the planet while they engage in incredibly immoral business practises. This is impressive, but more in that it actually works.
$0 is a bargain too :)

I was in Paris this past summer for the first time in a long time. In fact, it was my first time out of the US in a long time. I was stunned/disappointed by the fact that even in high-end produce stores, all the apple varieties were pretty much exactly the same ones we have in the US. Gala, Fuji, Red Delicious, Golden, Granny Smith, etc., the familiar line-up. The whole time I was in Paris, I did not encounter an unconventional apple type, and I went to many produce and grocery stores during my time there. I assumed that produce monoculture wouldn't have hit France as hard as it's hit the US... but no, it seemed just as bad there.
I'd assume so, contacts work just fine in my Meta quest.
Pol Pot wasn't "innately" evil and I doubt many people would say such a thing. Pol Pot is evil because he did evil things, not the other way around. For that matter, most Christians believe that all people are prone to sin and the difference between people is whether they seek forgiveness after giving into sin. The innate sense of evil exists in all people which is why Christ had to sacrifice himself to atone for that sin. Personally I am not a christian and blood sacrifice (of anybody or anything) to atone for sins doesn't make logical sense to me, but that's what their bible says and that's what most of them preach. A few, like Calvinists, are notable exceptions.
Yes it does.

It didn't when the Netflix app launched, but the Quest 2 and 3 support Widevine Level 1.
Better yet from both an ethical and efficiency perspective is to simply not raise money at all. I bootstrapped completely and am far healthier and happier because of that choice.
How has the technology been available for decades? There are many requirements for useful headsets beyond just strapping a low-resolution screen to each eye. Even the Vision Pro at $3500+ isn't quite there yet: it's heavy, external battery with a short battery life, has a limited field of view.
I kind of think it's crazy that the cable companies said that it would take millions of dollars and increased office supplies to make the change. Really?!

I have no doubt this will evolve into a great product, but it is going to take some time.

For those with a FOMO, chill. This is a product that is going to iterate quickly, is going to go through the trough of disillusionment, and people are going to take a while to figure out how it works in their life. I felt zero interest in being an early adopter even though I'm sold that it will be how we eventually work. I'll be an iteration 3 or so buyer.
A search says gas powered is 80 - 100 dB (vacuum cleaner to blender) and electric is 65 - 70 dB (washing machine).
That's an interesting detail about the bananas, I've always found artificial "banana" flavourings too strong, too "artificial" and I vastly prefer the taste of a slightly green banana (as you can buy it in Europe). Apparently the artificial flavourings are actually closer to what the OG bananas tasted like.
the main difference is that I cannot hold 10 crays in my desk drawer waiting to use them :P

Would this preclude buying Instagram? That was considered expensive at the time, but I think was a great buy for them and is a significant part of keeping Facebook competitive now and for the next half-decade.

Facebook marketplace and groups are other successful (IMO) sub-products that might not get built if "stick to your knitting" was the mantra.

Lots of organizations have Parquet data lakes and are considering switching to Delta Lake.

Converting a Parquet table to a Delta table is an in-place, cheap computation. You can just add the Delta Lake metadata to an existing Parquet table and then take advantage of transactions and other features. I don't think it's a meaningless comparison.

Iceberg is cool too.
Never sell and you will be happier. The world will be better with the person who truly cares and understands the business running it.

MrPowers, I suspect there is a case to at least attempt to make against Iceberg, but it is strange you aren't making it.

Per your blog:
https://mungingdata.com/devrel/virtuous-content-cycle-develo...

"This post explains how to scale developer advocacy by creating content in a way that answers current user questions and makes it easier to generate additional content in the future"

As a lead for a team of developers who have used Parquet and considering Iceberg for our next-gen stuff, you aren't "answering current user questions" about whether we should consider DeltaLake, at least for me. You are marketing to a past world.

Pointers from anyone on Delta vs Iceberg welcome.
What about aria-busy? I love how picocss approaches spinners.
True. Commenter made the point that for opportunistic crime they will be able to find you and track you down which is probably a lions share.

Also - I bet they could run a quick query matching license plates to state databases to find illegal cars in near real time. Cost a decent amount of change and some privacy issues but that would be a simple step after having the images in the cloud.
One thing Gersh Kuntzman found out on his criminal mischief operation was that cops did do this a lot, so the really bad offenders won't be picked up because they're part of the system itself that polices such things. Some of the cases were really in your face, with people using full plate covers with the car parked in front of a police station.

Good point, although if that happens, then I think we probably have a much bigger problem
I don't really buy this theory. Taking mushrooms is more likely to make me want to curl up in bed rather than run around. And would it really last long enough to get an animal outside of it's normal range? Not in my opinion.

I don't see anything ironic or not self-aware about this. There are molds ranging from benign and non-descript to deadly and grotesque looking. I wouldn't expect someone OK with eating the former to be OK with any mold on that basis. In fact I would expect them to be highly scrutinizing because its fucking mold.
> It works fine

It's decent but I don't think I'd say "fine". Most games (if they support both) work a million times better with the controllers. I tried hand tracking in a number of games on the Q2 and found it very lackluster. We will see if the AVP is able to deliver on their promise but already from the demos they've done it seems way more responsible/reliable than what I experienced on the Q2.
All I'm saying is it appears to have worked at mega-scale for Amazon.
"The city is rampant with crime, and police needs to crack down on it."

"Police budgets are bloated, and we need to cut them."

"We can't have cameras and license plate readers because they violate our privacy."

Ask an average SF resident walking down the street (or commenting on HN) and they likely hold all these views simultaneously. Ask them how exactly the city should reduce crime, and there is no answer.

Too many people seem to be confusing prior product critical commentary being invalid with all product critical commentary being invalid.

Apple Vision Pro won't do much as a product - it'll struggle for even minimal adaption and will be eventually all but withdrawn within 24 months. The patents etc may eventually lead to a compelling product.

But I'd be very confident I could look back at this comment and be proven correct.

iPad commentary on launch always felt wide of the mark - use case was clear. iPhone was limited at launch but you could see the path forward. Vision Pro feels like it could never be 'evolved' into a mass market product - though maybe the patents could be taken and become something useful, albeit different.

I can only say I cannot notice this destruction. I can count about 20 types of cheese in my Swiss fridge right now (ok not all Swiss) and none is Emmentaler or Gruyere. In my village we have a cheese shop with about 200 sorts, and every chain offers a few dozens at the minimum. Again, not all Swiss, but plenty enough types some of them even regional. So if there was any push on standardizing, I would say it largely failed. But I'll definitely search for that article/initiative, I'm very curious now.

The article doesn't really dispel the myth, just shuffles the causality around. To me it sounds like it's still true that artificial banana tastes different that what we can get now.
Reddit and social media are filled with low wage workers celebrating what they think is the demise of the tech industry. Not to mention ai workers who made it a mission to replace software engineers. Apparently tech workers are overpaid. Probably, the logic is that being a software engineer requires the same level of effort as writing a script to ingest a data file or serve drinks. Strange times when the masses celebrate the closure of one of their only ways out of poverty.
What this news suggests is that Cortex X5 will be similar to M3 and hence competitive against Oryon.
The DPI is pretty critical here though. A big part of their pitch is that you can use this to work. You can open huge windows all around you full of readable text. Seems like it'd be great for coding. Especially since it has the AR too, so you're not totally isolated while you're doing that.

Main problem could be too much weight for long sessions. But it's 600 grams, fairly close to the face with a very wide headband, and custom-fitted. Seems like it might be reasonably comfortable.
What exactly is the Vision Pro? AR goggles? VR goggles? Does it have hardware inside? Can it play VR games? The name certainly doesn't tell me anything, and the price point makes sure I won't ever see one.
God no. This sound awful. I can’t think of anything creepier than cicadas.
Yea, it is fair feedback.

It is, but it's also a point - if something is being changed, pushing back shouldn't be assumed to be being offended. In some cases, the people doing the change will be offended if you don't comply. And that will keep going when the change is changed again.
Another comment in here says it could be up to 4-5k/mo. Idk about googler parents but thats pretty much an entire 2 week net-income paycheck to me.. IIRC my friends with kids pay something like 2-3k/mo I think for their daycare but I'm in CO not CA.

This problem existed way before 2010.. it might not have been a problem in companies like Google but it had already been a problem in previous waves of big tech companies. For example in lots of the Telecommunications giants that were building the hardware in the 1990s that made the growth of today's BigTech possible.
Nothing more than a soft layoff.
What an awful opening paragraph:

> London is considered one of the classiest places on earth, what with its wealth of history, iconic landmarks, and… thousands and thousands of surveillance cameras. It’s also home to knife crime, pervasive racism, and soccer hooligans, with plenty of residents exhibiting all three of these traits simultaneously.

How does this crap get published? Why is it appearing here?
Kind of amazing that you can get a whole controller (including buttons etc.) for a fraction of the cost of an adapter. Probably a less authentic experience though:

Before the existence of Blue Retro or any commerically available adapter, I wanted to use Playstation 4 Dual Shock wireless controllers with my Sega Saturn as an analog controller. I used the Arduino USB Shield Adapter since that supported wireless Dual Shock controller and all I needed to handle was the Saturn side of things with emulating a controller protocol so the Saturn things it had a 3D controller plugged into it.

This was my introduction to Arduino programming, bitmasks and direct port manipulation. I have changed the recently to not use direct port manipulation since it really isn't need for the Saturn and I wanted to make the code more portable.

I have since made a wireless for the official 3D controllers for the Saturn with no noticeable latency. Something it seems is still taking others a while to figure out it. I am not doing anything fancy so I don't know how they can't figure that out yet. They are using Blue Retro though where as I am just using an nRF24L01. So maybe the Blue Retro is adding some unnecessary over head. This i have not released the source for though.
Whether 65 bits is sufficient depends on your attack scenario. I agree that Google won't allow you to try that many passwords, but for other scenarios, 65 bits might not be enough.

For example, imagine that OP is reusing passwords across different websites as most people are doing. One server gets hacked and the SHA256 password hashes get leaked, which unfortunately is still common. Currently, the best bitcoin miners can hash in the order of 10^14 hashes per second, which amounts to just 2^65 / 10^14 / 86400 ≈ 4 days of hashing. To be fair, bitcoin miners usually are not suitable for password hashing, but I'd be surprised if the NSA does not have 1000s of similar devices somewhere. Is that a realistic scenario? Probably not. But it is certainly a technical possibility.

A lower case password with 10 characters is not sufficient at all. Anycone could bruteforce that in a day with just one modern GPU.
"If only the czar knew."
The only way you can get away with this equivocation is by using vague phrases like "willing to use violence to suppress the opinions of people they dislike" to hide the differences, and assuming that all uses of violence are morally equivalent. Back here in reality, the crucial difference between fascists and anti-fascists is that fascists seek to suppress the rights (not just speech) of races they consider inferior and people they consider degenerate and a drag on society who have done nothing wrong and not instigated anything, through violence, whereas anti-fascists retaliate against people who explicitly hold bigoted views because of the beliefs espoused by them. Possibly using violence in retaliation to those who hold a deeply dangerous and bigoted ideology is very different then holding a deeply dangerous and bigoted ideology and targeting people just based on that bigotry.
Your description also fits the Meta Quest 3, which is clearly marketed as VR headset. Granted, the Apple device has far better hardware and seems to be more polished, but the capabilities are very similar from what we've seen so far.

Regarding the subscription revenue, it's doable, but you kind of have to start with it, not pivot to it mid-game, because that way your whole company and infrastructure is built with what the subscription model can bring you. I think many of the tech companies are just too big for the product that they manage.

>We have 20 years of evidence on what tech businesses can be built on the Internet that make money. It’s narrow and mostly can’t solve the problems that remain.

People will also want to invest their money into what they think/believe will be the future. My guess is that internet/IT is complex enough that most people don't understand it and see it as “magic” and because it's “magic” who knows what's possible, might as well pour in millions.

But as you've said, the reality always catches up to the truth.
