Yes, but VR headsets tend to focus everything at infinity, which is the most relaxed position for your eyes (and the opposite of starting at a nearby screen all day).

You are talking about GoreTex in the first sentence, then PFAS in general in the next, conflating the two. The EPA has absolutely found harm in humans from PFAS using science [1]. I don't know anything about GoreTex, but I do know they changed their formula to get rid of PFAS, at least for marketing reasons if not out of fear of liability as well, considering they are being sued.

Why do we have to overwork people anywhere? But certainly it shouldn't happen at Amazon, seeing as Bezos makes so much money. If not that alone, then maybe the fact that Amazon has used many unethical business practices. Unbridled capitalism and propping up the super rich (who, if they are so impressive, surely wouldn't be handicapped by having to play fair) isn't good for society as a whole.
I wouldn't dump a non-TeX one in the trash. It's just that a TeX one tends to draw my interest right away.
I think GP's taking the pessimistic view that the VR headset will be forced on the user for cost-cutting reasons. It's a real worry, but I was taking the optimistic view where I can choose where and how I set up my workspace enough to be comfortable.

VR pr0n is nasty because one can see all imperfections that Photoshop/Portaiture would instantly remove on 2D imagery/movies, breaking the spell. I would rather watch travel documentaries to choose my next vacation or interesting places I'd never see otherwise, like climbing something in Himalayas, visiting Galapagos, Antarctica etc. Visualizing my next house before it's built with all the views to/from the outside would be great as well.

> Nobody can turn off IPv4 today; there is always a long tail of people with broken IPv6 stacks.

To the public internet, no. To internal services, possibly, and if you use a CDN you can have everything on the origin side using IPv6.
Except that way many many AWS services can't do ipv6.
I do see a fair reasoning in not allowing the possibility for a lone mad man to start a big project without needing to like, check up with other people on whether what he's doing is right.

In regards to fame, Adam Savage recently said:

IPv6 banning would likely happen at that subnet level, not individually.
I get that audio latency matters for say phone calls (and I can rant about that getting only worse over time), but does it matter for home theater as long as it's known and adjusted for? Maybe it's a bit annoying if you pause and the audio doesn't stop right away, but otherwise, give me a 2 second audio latency and I don't care as long as you've got a/v sync so the sound and the picture line up where I'm sitting.
The best generalists should probably look into starting their own businesses. With AI tools, it becomes somewhat easy to perform at an average level in many roles.
Not angry! I just happened to notice that you'd broken the rules in several different contexts.
Obviously it's broad and there will be many exceptions. The exceptions are often the interesting part of the discussion.

Words have different meanings in different contexts. Pretending that "chemicals" can only ever be used to refer to all material substances equally is just intentionally trying to sabotage productive discussion.

Play Senua's Sacrifice in VR, maybe you'll change your mind. Much more immersive than anything else, and it's an action game with puzzles as well. Alyx is kinda stationary compared to that one.
But why would you do that? Why would you go through the effort to move around?

The problem with physical displays isn't that you can't move them around, it's that there's no reason to.

It's like a chair, sitting for too long is terrible for your body. Chairs don't literally limit you from getting up, but there's just no immediate reason to get up, do some stretching.

It would be the same except you're adding annoying glass and plastic attached to your face.

> Prior to these changes, bank runs and financial crises occurred about every twenty to thirty years.

That isn't in itself a bad thing. There needs to be a mechanism to punish people who give their money to charlatans and to reign in malinvestment. If there aren't occasional bank runs then that suggests an excessively cautious investment environment that is destroying potential wealth. Or a lot off government bailouts to cover excessive risk.

As you point out in a few lines with the "risk means nothing to them" comment, a situation has been set up where only the government cares about whether the risk profile being taken on is appropriate. Bankers don't care because it isn't their money, depositors don't care because it isn't their problem. That is a very poor outcome, everyone should care about that. People are presently empowering incompetents by flooding money into stupid ventures and they get no feedback about the damage they are doing.

Mass voting once every few years combined with committees of professional bureaucrats is an ineffective way of doing risk assessment. This has to be something that people work out with their bankers on an ongoing basis. The US would look completely different and probably a lot better to live in if these incentives were corrected.

It is interesting that in the crypto space a group of people have gotten so sick of this that they're going and making their own financial system (with hookers and blackjack, one suspects). It is a really interesting ongoing experiment because if the situation plays out in the obvious way, we're going to see a much healthier system in crypto. We've already seen any number of frauds cleaned out that'd probably have gotten away with it in traditional finance. And the way Tether eventually explodes will be a really interesting case study.

I've written a book in asciidoc using proprietary tooling. It was a fine experience.

However, the open source tooling doesn't support what I need for a physical book, so I chose to use pandoc and markdown instead mostly for to the market size of markdown.

(I previously wrote my own tool chain for rst to latex and epub, so I'm week seats of what features are needed to make digital and physical books. I was sick of using a format that had limited tooling while the world had moved on to markdown.)

The interest rate I'm referring to is the cash rate, ie. the rate at which banks lend to each other. That's the interest rate central banks set and defend using the sale and purchase of bonds on the secondary market.

If they didn't prop it up, it would tend to zero because banks have so much liquidity.
it also get's caught in stupid loops.

This is cool, but I'm amused that CatBoost still beats it.
It is very good. The gesture recognition, the eye tracking, video quality etc are great. The immersive video demo is outstanding, the immersive env are great, the spatial videos and photos (captured from the device) look amazing, although at this stage of the device you probably wouldn't have it on all the time at memorable moments to capture video.

It is heavy. Not 'my head hurts' heavy, but 'fatigue sets in after a while of wearing heavy'. Untethered battery life isn't amazing, but I doubt this is something you would take too far from your home / office setup (at least in its current form). There is some slight latency in the pass through camera feed but its not a dealbreaker.

It needs to get lighter, but I think the future will move in this direction. I don't think 'drop the phone' moment is right around the corner (although we're getting there), but I could be reaching for a vision pro, mouse, and keyboard for work in a not too distant future.
> Because he's relatable?

Just to be clear, the point I was making was the opposite. He seems to struggle relating to other people, and other people struggle to relate to him.

Personally, my take is that it's worth developing empathy in general and I think that responding to people with disgust is an anti-pattern. As the cliche goes, be hard on the problem, soft on the person.
> No there isn't.

We simply don't know if a different system could produce the same, because the few attempts we had were either corrupted or actively sabotaged. I'd argue if we look at China we actually can see how something other than capitalism can improve people's lives: hundreds of millions raised out of poverty through basic planning.

Another aspect is that many of the issues with previous attempts at something other than capitalism happened without the technology we have today. This would change everything.

> The rational thing to do is to smash that button an infinite number of times. That button exists and is called economic growth.

Of course it would be if there were zero bad consequences from it. But every time you press that button more people starve, the planet dies faster, workers conditions deteriorate, more people go homeless and so on.

But the big issue with your entire premise is that growing the economy means we improve people's lives. That's exactly the issue with the wealth gap: it doesn't. The economy right now basically only grows for the rich, not for everyone else. It's always money being siphoned from the bottom into the top.

It's very easy to pretend that everything is alright when you are in a privileged position, but the main reason 1st world countries like the US "grow" is by exploiting the poorer countries. You get access to better living standards at the cost of child labor in another country, deforestation, workers without a living wage or all the other nastiness that we don't want to know about.

There's no free lunch. It's the same siphoning of wealth, at all levels.

I can't stand Git. The points the author makes in the intro are true. Developers learn just enough Git to do their jobs, which is unfortunately more Git than they actually understand. I'm including myself in this. I've been using Git for nearly 20 years (since the very beginning), and I still can't accomplish anything more than the most basic things without reading documentation and hitting up the net for help. Even if I stick with simple operations, I can get in over my head. WTF is "detached HEAD"? I've looked it up dozens of times, and as soon as I get past whatever I'm working on, I forget what it means. I don't know what the reflog is, other than that it has to do with some dark internals. Resolving merge conflicts during a rebase is a clusterfuck. And on any team I've ever worked on, the branch history is a nightmare to look at.

So I clicked on this link with the hope that it might be a kinder, simpler VCS. Especially after the article author talked about how bad Git's CLI is and how much better Jujutsu's is. But it looks like it's just as much of an overcomplicated clusterfuck, and since it's built on top of Git, you still get to experience all the pain of Git if anything goes wrong. And I wonder what kind of frightening scenario occurs when some contributors use Jujutsu and some use Git.

I understand that Git is powerful, and many of its features are valuable for large teams working on enormous projects (like the Linux kernel it was invented to manage). Hardly anyone needs that, though. I want a dead simple VCS for small project use that doesn't come with so many footguns. I know simpler VCS exists, but without wide adoption, GitHub-like repos, and tooling support, using Git is still the path of least resistance.
There should be a lot of natural experiments that can test this. Just find the boundaries of municipal water systems that fluoridate and take a look at the populations near the boundary but on opposite sides.

Often those boundaries will cut through a neighborhood and so you end up with a population of demographically similar households but some are on city water and some have wells.

Many of those neighborhoods will have fluoride levels in their well water that are quite different from the levels in their city water, making them good subjects for a study.

This was on full display back in 2017-2018 when tax code was changed to limit the amount of State and Local taxes (SALT) that could be deducted from your Federal tax liability. The original SALT deduction, before the change, clearly benefited the wealthy, with large mortgages and living in high-tax (read: expensive) areas.

Cue articles like this one [1], which shows just how out of touch the wealthy can be:

> estimate the tax law’s impact on the value of a theoretical house in the New York City suburb of West Orange, New Jersey, purchased for $800,000 in 2017 by a theoretical family with a $250,000 annual income. Those home value and income numbers are very high by national standards — but middle class by the standards of large parts of suburban Essex County.

In 2017, $250K/HHI was in the top 5% of the entire US. Someone living in a house that cost 3X the median house, in one of the richest areas of the country, making more than 95% of everyone else considers themselves 'middle class'.

Should be just fine, at the minor cost of losing some configuration via your receiver remote, as long as your PC can deliver multichannel PCM to your receiver. Until relatively recently there wasn't a common way to do this, but recent versions of HDMI can.

The main reason that passthrough is the norm is history - the connection to the receiver used to generally be S/PDIF or HDMI 1.x versions that had the same capability as S/PDIF, so you had to use Dolby or DTS to get the audio to the receiver. Otherwise you could only do two channels.

Actually a shocking number of PC motherboards and soundcards of that era have 7.1 worth of analog outputs, but I can't say anyone ever used them. I believe 7.1 analog outputs were required for Intel HD Audio compliance.

What's it matter if the DAC is inside the TV or out, beyond the one in the TV is probably a cheap piece of crap. The important thing is the TV support plain Jane 2 channel PCM for digital output. From there you can go anywhere and do anything without loss or codec compatibility nightmares.
> the DMA will lead to chrome ruining the internet just as IE had previously.

Chrome is already the dominant browser on the desktop. It has not ruined the Internet. Safari having any significant share at all, with its updates tied to OS updates, its long-standing bugs in a blackhole bug system, and its slow addition of features that might help the open web compete with native apps, is what's holding the mobile web back. I say this as a Firefox user.
>People ought to be able to move where they're most happy / productive.

By what measure?
I did. I built a cryptocurrency and a decentralized exchange but it did not attract any money. They're both still operational but very low volume.

I'm now working on a no-code platform which will follow a franchise model that way anyone can buy a cryptocurrency and earn some percentage of the profits of the platform as semi-passive income. So far, no traction.

When I show people what I've done, they're usually quite surprised that it doesn't attract users. It feels like like none of my projects are allowed to get any exposure. As if Google and social media algorithms are not allowing any traffic at all to my projects, even for niche relevant keywords.

I can't even test to see if my target audience wants my product or not because I can't get it in front of any eyeballs to conduct that test. Over the past 5 years, my best project only got 50 visitors per day from Google. Many people who use it have told me that they love it and have been long term users but Google has a different opinion. I can't reach the necessary scale to make it profitable.
You have yet to explain why genetic extermination (whatever you mean by that) is undesirable.

Naming a natural evolutionary occurrence (and I mean genetic mixing, not colonization) a pejorative doesn’t make it so.

There is plenty of genetic mixing happening in the world in the last single generation without any colonization. Go back in time far enough and you can draw a line from any major event to a calamity that came after it. It’s quite easy to see through your veiled prejudice for inter-racial breeding.

If you don't write your database layer with vendor-specific features and optimizations in mind, you're definitely leaving tons of performance on the floor. Multi-DB support for a largely identical schema is a fool's errand.

It's not Postgres's fault that MySQL is comparatively bereft of modern features.

• transactional DDL
• RETURNING clause
• unfettered use of user-defined functions
• a native UUID type
• the ability to define custom data types and domains
• DDL triggers
• row-level security
• actual arrays and booleans
• MERGE
• range types and constraints
• IP address and CIDR types
• partial indexes
• LATERAL JOIN

MS SQL has temporal table support, the ability to integrate any .Net functionality directly into the database, pivot tables, etc.

It's really hard to explain to lifelong MySQL users what they've been missing in the name of database agnosticism. Using the lowest common denominator to all the engines feels like wearing a straitjacket attached to lead weights.

Yeah, I do the exact opposite, i want my life to blend (work and personal) during work. That's the advantage. I like my children climbing on me, or I like hearing what they are doing. If I need to focus, I will just focus, I don't need a separate environment. If they are particularly loud (scream continuously), I would ask them to lower their voice, that wouldn't be acceptable even if I wasn't working.

After work, I don't let it blend unless there are emergencies.
if it doesn't blend while working, it would feel lonely, instead having lunch with my wife is quite nice!
