The "patented, TM, etc" was just a joke claiming credit for the whole thing to support the "pay me" joke in the next line. It is a completely content-free line.

The idea of doing a Patreon is interesting.

The real problem is that from a technology support perspective, this is not a real tech business, it is just a feature on any of the platforms. The moment they implement some type of "Magazines" on YouTube / Facebook / Tiktok, you gotta move from Patreon to their platform because of discovery.

The product is not the tech, it is the skill in curation.

As a curator, i could care less what the platform is as long as someone pays me as much as I can get out of the system. Happy to run it on multiple platforms, on email .. whatever mix pays me the most. But I realize right up front that I will have to be paid on the platform the content is on because that is where it will be easiest to get new sign ups.
If there's not a sub-$2,000 version of this thing in 18 months, it's going to get put in Apple's attic alongside the Newton and G4 cube.

Essentially no consumer is spending $3,500 on a single tech purchase anymore. That price point is just way too high for anything but niche business use and I just don't see Apple being willing to settle for that niche.

This must have been a painful engineering effort that I bet absolutely consumed the backlogs of at least tens of teams. Usually business assumptions about user accounts have their tendrils deep into the architecture and services that presumably many many years of code sits on top of.
That is support for the point, not contradiction.

It is profitable because it what the consumer wants.

In general, if people really want guilt free products, and are willing to pay a premium, someone will make and sell them.
That's seemingly cash flow though. The other poster is asking if the aggressive refinancing paid off the transactions fees that it incurred.
Apple introduced it as the "Pro" model which is the high end line in apple-parlance. I'd expect a future non-pro model to slot in under it with all the essential features.

I also wouldn't be surprised if the Vision Pro eventually retails for $2999 instead of $3499. Today, it's a relatively low volume product and I'd expect costs to fall when Apple makes a push for a larger market
I got a few years use out of my first-gen iPad and Apple Watch - bought the iPad on release day, the Watch several months in.

That felt pretty reasonable given the cost for each.

I don't disagree with your sentiment for the Vision Pro, but can't agree for the iPad or Watch.

> I’m starting to treat general aviation as though it was 50 years ago: Very unsafe and expensive

General aviation* is expensive and dramatically less safe than commercial aviation. I'm not sure what that has to do with Kayak's offering model-filtering in their UI (Kayak is selling commercial aviation tickets, which has nothing to do with general aviation).

It mixes good criticism with nostalgia to a past that never was.

Don't idolize past successful business people... they are the same in every generation.

Don't confuse good communities that you may or may not have been part of in the past with the technologies they used. You can find awesome people in a facebook group or a discord channel today, and you most definitely could have found nice or awful people in a builtin board way back when.

Let's say the NSF wanted to give everyone in NSF raises in 2023 to offset inflation from 2022. I believe that would require a 6.5% increase right? I personally believe that the people there deserve more salary than just meeting inflation, though imo.

> I have a feeling some of these professions are going to see a resurgence in wages relative to other areas of the economy.

This is what should happen to wages in a competitive labor market where there is a legitimate shortage of a particular skill, but unfortunately companies will try to do pretty much anything except raising wages. So instead of paying plumbers $100/hr, the positions just go unfilled, and there's currently a multiple-month wait for any plumbing work where I live.
Part of what made the 90s internet exciting was the sense, whenever I found a useful site, that I too could make such a site. I could probably get v1 going in an afternoon, and it would be (partly) fun.

I guess I could also make a 2020s content site, full of ads and signup clickthroughs, but I don't want to.

Movies made this transition around the 1940s. It went from "if you could put on a play, you could rent some cameras and lights and make a popular movie" to "you need a 9-digit production budget and 3 years."

I salute indie video game developers, who continue to resist this trend, making good 6-digit titles that are often more enjoyable than 9-digit titles.
My wife and I always struggle with the "where to eat" loop. Our solution is to have one person has to pick three options, then the other picks from that list.

It narrows the scope of the decision for both people (I only have to pick three or I only have to pick from this list), and ensures that everyone has skin in the final call
Some of these institutions and services have been built up over, and by, generations. I think it's unfair to expect them to suddenly cater for a mass of new arrivals.
yeah, but you have to be line of sight for a universal remote to work. the app enabled IR box means you can be anywhere within range. that does have its advantages. also, being in the kitchen while the remote is near the couch when your streaming platform of choice asks "Are You Still There?" means you can answer from the kitchen.

Since this is a collection of 2D sprites in 3D space, we could call it "2.5D".

The rotation of the sprites really breaks the effect, though. Then again, having them still would probably be worse. What if the rotation for each sprite was random?
In the case, the OP already paid for it and can't get a refund, so the thing they paid for is being stolen from them. Meanwhile, some helpful people on the Internet will--for free--give them the original that they paid for.

That said, why judge if they didn't buy it? The publisher decided to specifically ensure that they couldn't be a customer by specifically going out of their way to make it be incompatible with their hardware/OS. So the choices are skipping, or to receive a free, working copy from someone else, so they aren't using any of the publishers resources or affecting them in any way. Why is option 2 morally bad in any way?
It's constantly frustrating to read about European users getting cool new features to help manage their digital life that the rest of the world doesn't get. The expected cost in lost ad revenue per user must be pretty significant to justify the complexity of keeping this stuff limited to Europe.
You are misunderstanding. I am not saying that valuing family is not normal, I am saying that because a person does not do so, given certain circumstances, does not make them abnormal. Family is a part of someone's life, and if you choose to define that person based on their family relationships, that is a mistake. There are so many people who are perfectly normal, and do not have close ties to a majority of their family. I have friends who are absolutely like brothers and sisters to me, and my kids will know and hear about them as well.

If you think people having abnormal families is a exception, you need to step outside your front door. I would say almost every family has people that other family members would not go out of the way for, and the circumstances are all that can define those situations, not a blanket "family is everything" statement.
Really interested if this can become a laptop replacement while at home. Not sure I would carry it to the local coffee shop, but I’m thinking with a Bluetooth keyboard I might be able to replace my aging MacBook Pro while at home. Considering all the tech it has seems like a cheaper alt than buying another MacBook Pro
statistically (from a certain perspective) i agree with you but cold statistics dont explain the reality of existing as a human being. there's something about flying in a thin, aluminum/composite tube with 100-300 other "souls" many miles in the sky that many find extremely uncomfortable. the magnitude and scale seem to be perceived differently by the human psyche.

additionally, once we dive deeper into the statistics, it may be worth evaluating deaths, critical injuries, and minor injuries dimenions by different measures (per transport, per capita, per accident/incident). i wonder what story those analyses would tell.
I wonder how much charging ones headset would reduce the driving range.

Thanks! I'm familiar with time-of-use pricing. Growing up, we did get a better electric rate by having an electric water heater that was somehow radio controlled to only operate at certain hours.

I'm not familiar with storage heaters, though. I don't think I've ever heard of one being used in the US. For others like me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_heater.
Regarding the quality of posts in general the problem is not what gets posted, there is a ton of junk in the "new" queue and most of it never makes it to the front page. It's what gets upvoted.

That's definitely a challenge :-)!

I'm unfamiliar with the concepts of institutional analysis but definitely interested in learning more.

I'm also interested in the Functional Source License.

I'm skeptical though! I live in a country where corporations will literally make people work for food if they can. It's very hard for me to imagine how an open source project gives away the thing of value that it produces and only afterwards gets the money it needs to survive.

Solving the open source sustainability problem would actually be world changing.

For now I'm following you on Twitter and look forward to future posts.
This is a really interesting point and I see a lot of truth in it. But the language is imprecise- underfunding would lead to a decaying system.
Google is still a juggernaut BUT...

I don't think anyone here would claim competitor's "AI" isn't going to take a chunk of their search market, would they?

Almost everything about Google Search is mediocre.
Buy a safer car, exercise, quit drinking, and improve your diet. These actions will have a far bigger impact on your lifespan than excluding 737 Max from your Kayak search results.

That said, Boeing needs a shake-up. They have become a little too cozy with the bureaucratic/political class and their benefactors.
Could be that they have not been entirely consolidated yet as they all previously were individual products.

From a user perspective is appears like the users have been relatively loosely coupled.

I think about plane models when it comes to comfort. I always prefer A350s over 787s, always prefer A320s over the 737 family because of the 737 family's more narrow cabin. I genuinely don't like flying on Boeing planes.

> It was pretty evil of the Asian-looking guy shouting "DON'T TOUCH HER" "You're not of the same age".

It was hysterical, but I don't see how is this evil, more like being protective. And it happened way past the point of conflict

> He was threatened and only escalated to be a dick about it after they were a dick to him.

How was he threatened? These people were barely speaking English, which the guy started mocking from the very beginning of the conversation, before he could even figure out what they were even asking for.

> Have we watched the same video?

Honestly asking the same question. Am rewatching 9:00-10:00 how the lady tries to ask the guy not to film, but he just mocks her: "No disco? No disco? Whot, the ChInEsE GoVeRnMeNt will jail us?"

How is this not being a dick?

At about the 10:00 another asian guy steps in and says "basically we ask you, whatever you do, don't publish our faces on TV, we will appreciate that"

The piano guy responds: "What happens if I don't?"

The asian guy responds: "We'll just really just appreciate if you do. We are very sensitive to this kind of thing. Sorry, we really like your music, yada-yada".

The asian guy clearly tries to deescalate and ask nicely, while the piano guy is all like "oh yeah? Watcha gonna do?"

How is this threatening?

> He is also quite well within his rights

So are people who listen to loud music when a baby is sleeping next door. They are quite within their rights, but this hardly makes them any less terrible people for doing it just to make a point.

In general as people get older they become able to see things that are getting worse, since they have a wider frame of reference, and have a hard time seeing things that are getting better, because they imagine the past was better than it was. The result, in many cases, is an articulation of a very nuanced explanation for why the present sucks, but often to me I read it as just a self-rationalization. The truth is, a lot of stuff is amazing now that was far worse in the past.

A lot of the things people are making now are being driven by young people. Young people have an ignorance about the past, so miss some of the lessons, but they also lack the cynicism which prevents revisiting things that people have determined "don't work" in the past.

I generally see tech as a large ecosystem which is in fact progressively improving, with minor setbacks that often do echo the same setbacks in the past. The error is to pattern match too strongly on these setback patterns as though they contain some kind of timeless wisdom. If there's any industry where past performance isn't indicative of future results, it's technology. (Which is and of itself, is a process of knowledge discovery at its core.) My general approach to thinking about this is I grow older is to guard against the kind of cynicism I see in so many of my peers. Yes, it means I will be wrong on things where the cynic turns out to be right. But given the pull of cynicism, I suspect more likely I will remain cynical in many places I shouldn't be anyway, so I'd rather focus on being right in the places where the cynic is wrong by forcing myself to remain optimistic and give the young the benefit of the doubt.

This also has the added benefit of making the process of working on things more fun in general - not just because it leads to actually making stuff (cynicism demotivates this) and it also leads to being surrounded by peers who are optimistic and interested in continuing to make stuff (being surrounded by cynics is generally miserable, and breeds cynicism.) A few years ago, I found myself in a broad peer group of technologists who were deep into the abyss of cynicism, and made a conscious decision to just sever myself from these networks because this kind of negativity was becoming my dominant mode of thinking about technology. I've done some of my best work since then and much of it has probably come about due to the fact that I dove into it due to the counterfactual level of optimism I had due to this one decision.
It could have been recorded in the aircraft (running under its own power or on shore power), or in the shop running off a bench AC power supply. Either way, if the unit's power supply filter capacitors are degraded (which is very likely), then the AC power supply frequency will leak into the audio output. I deal with this nonstop servicing audio amplifiers from the same era as the the B-58.
I cancelled my amazon prime while taking a shit. Do these workaholics not shit? Where do they find the time to subscribe to services in the first place?

A lot of this interview feels like bullshit to me. Erm, on the interviewee not the interviewer.

They say that a modern replica of bar code could never be made today. But we are full tilt into the open source movement with Linux, Chrome, Docker, PHP, Apache, Nginx, Makefiles and more all underpinning modern code.

Even QR codes are basically open source.

------------

Open standards have won the market today in practice. If a modern barcode re-competition were to exist, I'd bet on an Open Source one over any proprietary solution.

There seems to be a lot of understanding of the barcodes history here. But also a lot of cynicism that seems completely unwarranted.
Because they don't have a family doctor.
Indeed, "up or out" turns friends into rivals, prevents teamwork. Coworkers hoard info to prevent you looking too good compared to them. As result you can struggle to learn anything without being pushy or playing politics. If someone's doing a great job at work and they want to "coast" and do the same great job next year, seems good to me. But apparently not allowed in those up or out places. To anyone that finds that happening at work, my advice is GTFO. ;). ( I worked at place like this once. Happily managed to find a much nicer place to work after a year-and-a-half of it)
> if you film someone in public and they come up and tell you it's a problem, it's polite to not publish their likeness/delete the image

That's my point, that's just basic politeness.
> It's going to be very difficult to avoid the 737 MAX going forward.

Maybe. Delta doesn't currently have any 737 max and they have ordered 100 max 10s, but they aren't approved by the FAA yet and they might change their order. There are still airlines that prefer airbus.
No, it doesn't invalidate the rest of your comment. It just made it harder to figure out what point you were making in your original post (i.e. what the this referred to).

There's a little bit of irony here in how you react to people picking at details in your own posts, when your original post is precisely the same kind of pedantry!
I'm not remotely sure about your extrapolation there. The 6s came out when everyone already had a smartphone. Likewise AirPods when most people had Bluetooth headphones. Both mass market products.

This is a brand new product line. Nobody knows if they want one yet. Mass-market normies have barely heard of it. Now, if you'd compared it to the OG iPhone...

For Chamberlain brands [0] there is some research that shows that their rolling code system (Security+ and Security+ 2.0) is quite easy to decode/decrypt [1]. This feature is supported in the flipper firmware, but is restricted (you can't create a custom remote, only clone is supported) without custom firmware. However, I'm sure you could decode a raw capture file if needed in a pinch.

Just this weekend I took a low dose of mushrooms and went to a nightclub. I typically drink at these places so it was interesting to take just mushrooms and zero booze.

It was quite fun at a low dose and gave a similar feeling to being drunk without the downsides. After that experience if I had to choose to go out and drink or go out and take a low dose of mushrooms I'm definitely doing the latter.
