I find it odd to see geeks, on a site essentially devoted to idle curiosity, speaking out against idle curiosity.

There is value in showing respect for the dead, mostly for the benefit of those near death and the grieving families, but the arguments made here seem weird to me. Do we seal homes and turn them into tombs when a person dies inside? Do we leave car wrecks on the side of the road?

Or, equally painfully, "With John and myself!" (What? The speaker was also the subject of the sentence?)

THB I'm pulled between two incompatible positions:

(1) Nobody has a right to define "proper" English language. The language's grammar is literally however a plurality of people use it.

vs.

(2) There is a "proper" English; it's what we were taught in elementary school in the 1970's. Failing to adhere to those grammar rules (e.g., when to use "myself" or "whom") is objectively incorrect.

Walmart paying drivers above the typical trucker's wage is not new, driving for Walmart has always been a "prestige" job in trucking that paid well and that drivers wanted to drive for.

As some of you probably know, I spent a number of years working with GE, which included plenty of time at the legendary GE Research lab in Niskayuna. So it was a special thrill to see this piece connecting Answer.AI to the long history of R&D labs. Our ideas about R&D are kind of out of fashion in our current age, but I hope this says more about the age than it does about the quality of the ideas. Happy to answer questions in this thread, if there are any fellow R&D-lab-enjoyers here.

Perhaps give Flowpipe [1] a try? It provides "Pipelines for DevOps", including a library of AWS actions [2], that can be run on a schedule (e.g. daily) or a trigger (e.g. instance start) to do things like turn off, update or delete expensive assets. It can also be combined with Steampipe [3] and the queries from the AWS Thrifty mod [4] to do common queries. We'd love your feedback if you give it a spin!

Comparing openvswitch on Linux, to say, the crossbow SDN facility on Solaris, I'd take crossbow any day. Nothing "wrong" with Linux, but it is sorely lacking in "master plan" levels of cohesion with all the tooling taking their own path, often bringing complexity that requires even for abstraction with yet more complicated tooling on top.

You do what works for you, but medical care is one of those situations where I want things to have as little unintended friction as possible. There can be a ton of small edge cases balancing insurance and medicine and pharmacies and god knows what that I don’t want to introduce issues into. In the extreme case, I wouldnt want to end up in the ER from an ambulance and the hospital to miss some important note in my chart (eg drug allergy) because the license on my body doesn’t match the birthday on my same-named file.

Perhaps Illumos is particularly well suited for a Hypervisor/Cloud platform due to work upstreamed by Joyent originally for SmartOS?
Yes, this isn't the right solution. The power needs to be given to the users.

A better solution is more robust device management, with control given to the device owner (read: the parent). The missing legislative piece is mandating that social media companies need to respond differently when the user agent tells them what to send.

I should be able to take my daughter's phone (which I own), set an option somewhere that indicates "this user is a minor," and with every HTTP request it makes it sets e.g. an OMIT_ADULT_CONTENT header. Site owners simply respond differently when they see this.
I think this is basically right.

But the other part of it is that manufacturers actually have gotten better at pricing, if better is defined as getting people to pay a little bit more than they expected. Locking pretty important stuff behind higher trim packages, or even just making it an overpriced add-on, for example.

It's upselling, sure, which they've always done (cf. all the 80s jokes about rustproofing and undercarriage protection). But they've really turned it into an art form in the last 4-5 years. I forget which make and model it was, but I was pricing out some car on a website, and you could get a blue car for, let's say $40k, but if you wanted a red car you had to also get heated leather seats, the deluxe navigation package, the deluxe safety package, different tires and hubcaps, and pay something like $46.5k. I'm fairly certain you just mix red dye into the paint rather than blue dye...
I think it’s been a while since you went car shopping on Craigslist. The cheap junk that might not run tomorrow is still in the $8k+ range these days.
All the 80-90s car problems are intake stuff, IAC valves and all that stuff. I had so many cheap 85-95 Fords (Probe, Escort, Mustangs) and Preludes that all had pain in the ass idle air problems. The fords would always wind up dying at stop lights. Hondas I don't think got that bad but they'd rev up and down at lights, I guess keeping themselves running vs the Fords that I had to do it myself.

I'm pretty sure my 85 Cherokee had idle problems too. That jeep was scary to get on the highway. SO slow.
Even the music industry managed to solve this problem.
To be fair, they're only whining about PWAs, because Apple artificially locked down all native apps. Apple forced the developer shift, their own preferences didn't necessarily change.

If you could install + sell iPhone apps freely, like you can with OSX / macOS apps, 99% of developer complaints about PWAs would vanish.
Guess maybe that is at the heart of the problem with subjective interpretations.

You say Tomato, I say Potato. They look same to me, as a non-graphic artist, only taking a glance.

Steam Boat is open to be re-interpreted. How much can it be re-interpreted, given they look almost the same already, before you can say it is same.

But it is a strange world, didn't Apple and Samsung just have a billon dollar judgement over "how rounded the corners are on a phone"?
How can they generate less heat when the break function is to turn movement energy via friction into heat? Energy needs to go somewhere and vibration and usually noise are not enough to make much of a dent wrt. energy.

> By this, do you mean the typical EM formulation of Maxwell's laws produces Gauss's law and Faraday's law (which are instructive) where as the Geometric Algebra formula produces ∇F = J (less instructive?).

> Can you explain a bit more what you mean here please?

It's all downstream of geometric algebra leaving the metric implicit in its operations, basically

- The metric is an extremely important physical quantity: it doesn't necessarily look that way when everything is classical and flat, but you have to start caring about it in curved spacetimes.

- Even when the metric can be safely neglected, doing so makes it very easy to confuse degree (n-k) elements of your vector space V with degree k elements of its dual V. V and V are isomorphic but not canonically isomorphic - you have to choose a basis. And keeping track of where you introduce a choice of basis matters, because all physical quantities are basis-independent. Nature has no preferred coordinate system.

- Geometric algebra doesn't make sense on a general manifold: you have to embed it in a sufficiently large geometric algebra and inherit structure from the embedding. This is better than working in a particular coordinate chart but worse than doing differential geometry in a purely geometric way.

- Geometric algebra is not invariant under diffeomorphism, which means GR is dead in the water. You can build mostly equivalent theories by enforcing the equivalence principle in your dynamics instead, but it's more complicated and ironically far less geometric.
I found that kind of funny too. Beats me. :)

This is my first one with a self-empty base and I'm surprised how much I like it. I don't think the pre-mapping self-empty units would have worked very well for me because they would usually get stuck, but I've been quite impressed at how well the j7 manages to avoid that.

It does have an annoying quirk that it won't run if it's too dark, so I have to schedule it a little carefully or leave the lights on and schedule them to turn off. But I'm really happy with it overall.

Yeah, the "+" is doing some heavy lifting there :-) 3x is what you can basically just fall into after military retirement without trying very hard, with a bad network, and with poor luck.

Another factor is that your expenses can be quite low while you're in, even with a family. Put an officer's salary on top of that—which isn't amazing, but isn't terrible either—and you can save a fair bit of cash even before you even start the contractor + retirement double-dipping.

Though there are real costs—the schools are generally very good, but you may have to move every couple years. The bureaucracy is hellish (though, for all their dysfunction, they've got a lot of shit figured out way better than your average bigco). You'll probably serve under and with some real assholes at some point. And there's ever the temptation to get out early and start taking those sweet contractor dollars before you secure the government retirement check. Plus, you know, you may have to go kill people or get killed or what have you.

[EDIT] Oh, another downside: it can be really hard for your spouse to have a career, due to all the moving and often living in places without much economic opportunity.

Well, IIRC, he said there was no economic or technical advantage to reusing rockets, and predicted the demise of SpaceX. That Tesla would never produce a semi-truck, then when it did he significantly misrepresented the details so he could "bust" it. And probably others. I try not to waste much brain space storing his BS.
Disc brakes are still less prone to fading out. Drums hold in the heat during long downhill runs and don't cool as quickly during repeated braking events. They may generate less heat per stop, but they also don't dissipate it nearly as quickly when they do get hot. You don't want to choose them in them mountains, they're fine for a quick panic stop or two but beyond that, you're going to be much better off with a disc brake.

What qualifies for the blacklist? It's a moral question. What happens when the blacklist maintainer's morals differ from your own? Sure, in the U.S. it seems fairly uniform that most people do not want children having access to porn. But what about women having access to information about abortion? Or information about suicide? The use of drugs on psychological conditions? Vaccination efficacy?

Really sucks when someone that controls the blacklist decides you're on the moral fringes of society.
I am pretty sure Steve would not have launched the Vision Pro. I remember his 1997 WWDC fireside chat where he said:

“You’ve got to start with the customer experience and work backward to the technology. You can’t start with the technology then try to figure out where to sell it.”

Given that, I don't think having a large screen strapped to the front of your face is a great customer experience.
I wonder if this has the effect of increasing "market rate" so that only big companies with economies of scale can be competitive

I was confused by this because most rankings say Volkswagen is the biggest company in Europe, but it looks like LVMH is currently #2 by market cap (behind Novo Nordisk, which I assume is flying high thanks to the semaglutide craze). Considering that #3 is ASML, I'm not sure this ranking especially supports your narrative.
Option Soup: the subtle pitfalls of combining compiler flags
The Pacific is several thousand feet deeper on average than the Atlantic, though. Especially the parts of the Atlantic near the US mainland are quite shallow, with the continental shelf extending outwards well offshore. I guess it would have been more accurate to say that for a ship in the major Atlantic shipping lanes, Titanic is quite deep.

Even looking for Titanic was a cover story in the first place. They were actually looking for a sunken Russian sub that was sorta in the area. It was only when they had a bit of left over time at the end of the mission that they ACTUALLY found Titanic, almost accidentally.
It's actually worse than that. There was an article recent, I don't think I'll be able to find it now, describing the incorporation of product placement in shows now as a means of perpetual revenue. VHS let you pause recording and skip the ads, but now shows have ads fused right into them.

Every time I see a show with a 5 second scene of a brand new car driving on a street, or a shot of the front of the car with the main character(s) stepping in/out, all I think is this is an ad.
Bold, knowing current tech in a car is an issue, moving to an 80's hi-tech car is mind blowing. They are known for being loaded with all kinds of 1 off proprietary tech.

Jeremy from Answer.AI here -- Answer.AI is, to some extent, the subject of this article. Perhaps worth noting here that we didn't pay the author, Eric Gilliam; it's his independent analysis based on years of study of 19th & 20th century R&D labs.

I'm hoping that not only will Answer.AI be successful, but that Eric's words in the conclusion will come to pass:

> "If their USD10 million experiment works, it has the chance to spark a rush of emboldened researchers and engineers to found small research firms, leveraging the models of the once-great dragons of American industrial R&D."

I'm happy to answer any questions you have about our experiment, and my co-founder Eric Ries (@eries) is around too. (Note that there are 2 Erics mentioned here -- that can get confusing!)

> A replacement car is out of the question, because she barely has enough money for rent. But even if Luna had the funds to go shopping, it’s unlikely she’d find anything remotely reasonable. The average new car today sells for nearly $49,000, and the average used car lists at more than $26,000 – representing a 31% increase for new cars and nearly 40% increase for used cars since 2020, according to data from the industry group Cox Automotive.

Pretty superficial analysis. Averages are swayed by expensive cars and there many new cars available in the $20k-$30k range, i.e. well below $49k. The writer seems to think that those vehicles, which include things like Toyota Corollas, lower-end Camrys, etc. aren't "remotely reasonable".
As far as performance and feature set, probably not anymore (I would have answered differently 10 years ago, and if I am wrong today would love to be educated about it).

However, if we are considering code quality, which I consider important if you are actually going to be maintaining it yourself as oxide will have to do since they need customizations, then most of the proprietary Unix sources are just superior imo. That is, they have better organization, more consistency in standards, etc. The BSDs are slightly better in this regard as well, it really isn't a proprietary vs open source issue, it's more about the insane size of the Linux kernel project making strict standards enforcement difficult if not impossible the further you get from the very core system components.

Irregardless of them being ex-Sun (and I am not ex Sun), if I needed a custom OS for a product I was working on, Linux would be close to the last Unix based OS source tree I would try to do it with, only after all other options failed for whatever reason. And that's not even taking into account the licensing, which is a whole other can of worms.
This is just blatantly not true, anyone who has tried to gamble on sports can tell you that companies go to quite incredible lengths to make sure that nobody outside of the few jurisdictions where they're legal can gamble online.

That is literally how the age verification for porn works in Louisiana and Virginia among other states.
Herein lies the rub, every time I've seen this happen in the past companies just applied blanket wide bans to accounts. Sometimes retroactively for accounts that were illegal at the time of their creation regardless of the users current age. Both Google and Twitter did this to users who created accounts before they were 13 but were then adults.

If you're going to introduce legislation like this, then it needs to include provisions that it will not permanently bar those users access to the services once they are of age. I manage my children's social media interaction (near 0 with the exception of YouTube), if their accounts get permanently disabled that would be unfortunate in the future when they are old enough.

Not so much toxic individuals as unpleasant (antagonistic) community norms, particularly towards newcomers. I don't think it's related to any particular communications channel, it's more of a cultural thing.

Understand that I'm not saying such communities are actually bad or wrong in some way, but the tone of them has undergone a strong shift over the past couple of decades.

For me, It's become one that turns what used to be a fun and satisfying activity into one that is an unpleasant drudgery. Others may thrive in the new norms, I don't know. I just know that my life is a happier one if I avoid it now.

Good point. I think that one of the things that got this discussion to fire up was that I didn't say that I didn't mind my emails going to spam box (I know it's very tricky getting whitelisted).
