Unfortunately, that's not going to stop them. I have a feeling we're going to see a lot of companies self-destruct over incredibly poor short-term decision making as they make their services demonstrably far worse.
Using words often works. But let me chime in with some outrage about the icons on an Android tablet - a triangle, circle and square with no discoverability and no ability to add text to icons on the home screen? WTF?
> We have assigned port number 22 to ssh, with you as the point of contact. Joyce

Those were the early days when you could be designated as the point of a contact for a TCP port connection number and expect not to be swamped by emails!
The issue stems more from how stakeholders and management don't know what they want, but they still expect tight and concrete deadlines. Either you have iterative development with space to explore ideas and solutions which will take longer, but might result in a cleaner, more robust design, or you focus on deliverables and deadlines with clearly defined specifications. You can't have it both ways.
Good on you both! I've often heard that the wedding spend total is inversely proportional to the length of the marriage.

(When the spending is crazy, one must ask what 'for what are they compensating?').
APT29's Attack on Microsoft: Tracking Cozy Bear's Footprints
Conversely I think NATO and being the "world's policeman" was more popular in the US after WWII when we realized we could be pulled into European conflicts. After decades of relative peace a lot of people are wondering why we're spending so much on defense.
Bad analogy: the previous Afghanistan government was also anti-LGBT, albeit less extremely so - the previous government’s Penal Code, introduced in 2018, criminalises homosexuality and punishes it with imprisonment. When the Taliban took over, they announced that imprisonment is now replaced with death
To a large extent, yes. Head position (varies with helmet), back curve, hand and arm positions etc. We measure the number of watts saved by various combinations of rider position/rider equipment (helmets/skinsuits etc) in real time and pop the number up on the on-bike screen in real time. Currently moving to doing this out on the road (following validation on indoor velodromes and wind tunnels), kind of fun being able to see this position saves 10 watts, that one saves 15 watts but is too uncomfortable to hold for long etc.
Most gay marriages are non monogamous, so your point is ‘plenty’ misleading. Marriage is legally less beneficial for men in the us (divorce lawyer is paid by the men), and marriages don’t mean stable relationships. An emotional marriage is likely less stable than a cohabitation.

Because the first point is challenged: https://www.thegaytherapycenter.com/gay-men-in-open-relation...

> Several research studies show that about 50% of gay male couples are monogamous and about 50% allow for sex outside of the relationship. The research finds no difference in the level of happiness or stability among these groups.
For expnentiation I was talking about something else:

1+3
x + 4

In this case, the exponent notation makes it unambiguous that this is (x^(1+3))+4, and not x^(1+3+4).

I agree that xy² could mean both (xy)² and x(y²), and that perhaps you need to understand precedence to disbiguate. I would still contend that the notation is defined as "each term has its own exponent, possibly 1 which need not be written" to disambiguate, where terms are separated by parentheses or by other operators.

That is, in my mind, the grammar for usual algebraic notation is something like this:

expression = term (op term)*
expression___________ (expression)?
term = (num | var | fraction | \( expression \) | \/expression)

op = + | - | / | × | ° etc

And the rules are that you first evaluate each term, and then the operators between the terms. You only need to follow precedence rules for those operators between terms, the evaluation of a term is unambiguous.
I'm not sure what you mean -- I would think the ISP is analogous here, so Comcast, AT&T, Verizon et al?
That's an oversimplification and also inferring a completely incorrect situation.

It was perfectly fine for American citizens to use cryptography amongst each other or with outside nationals. It was also completely fine to download and use externally developed software.

What was illegal was developing and exporting cryptographic software. This is why, for the longest time, you would see warnings on web pages (puTTy, for instance) saying the software was only intended for use in the United States.
Yes — that’s correct.

Programs with a fixed amount of execution time always terminate. That’s why we add timeouts to executions, because they’re a solution to the halting problem, which guarantees execution flow of our machines always returns at some point.

It’s not really even an article—just a few-hundred-words snippet on the guy’s substack. I suspect it was posted to HN because of the context of the back-and-forth with Altman, rather than for its merits as an essay.
Nextdoor has gotten way out of hand
> My mom certainly did not enjoy working 2 jobs to bring me up in this world

Rich world problems, though. In poorer countries and our poorer past, you'd have been working alongside her as she wouldn't be able to do it all on her own. Poor people have little choice but to bring children into this world. They would not survive without them. Opting to not have children is a luxury.

> perhaps people are more educated now

Or less educated. We seem to have come to believe that children are porcelain dolls that will break if they have to lift the lightest of fingers before they turn 18, even though there is no basis to that. It's just a cultural display.

> Give me a phone with a proper usb port, a couple sim cards, an SD slot, a replaceable battery and a headphone jack. I couldn't possibly care any less about making it any thinner. It's going into a protective case anyway.

Almost nobody wants this phone. Sure you'll get cheered on by some small group of people that wouldn't actually buy this phone either, but it just wouldn't sell well enough to justify its existence. There's probably already a phone with most of these features.

The main advantage is it makes it possible to do more accurate emulation without needing to sacrifice performance in the same way as software emulators. But the very large gap between affordable CPU performance and affordable FPGA performance makes it not an obvious tradeoff.
I used to know these ratios better when I was reworking staffing, but I’m pretty sure state mandated child:teacher ratios are lower than that for preschool, lower still for toddler care, and something like 4:1 for infant care, and they must be met at all times to function, so you need backup/slack for eg teacher sickness. And in preschool, the teachers typically need non-licensed assistants to help with eg potty accidents that would otherwise pull them away from the main group.

There is also a surprisingly significant administrative burden, so you typically need administrators to handle things like state licensing compliance (including surprise inspections), parent communication, teacher scheduling, billing, payroll and all that entails, cleaners, scheduling and contracts for photographers and activities, new enrollment, tours, marketing efforts, insurance, etc. These are typically older teachers, so they’re not the most technically savvy group, and perhaps less productive when tech is involved than you might think. And parents expect to be able to text them, pay online, etc nowadays, so they have to use some tech. But the upshot is sometimes they can pinch-hit to meet your ratios.

SaaS has gotten surprisingly expensive, too, that was sucking a big hole in our budget when I first started helping out, and while I’ve trimmed it significantly, it’s still surprising how greedy they are compared to eg 5 years ago (looking at you, Gusto). Ditto thinks like online payments with credit cards, had to put a stop to that asap.

The school I help with is a nonprofit, so there are no shareholders, and the building is a little more than 10% of our operating budget, so it’s not landlords. There is no “excess money” for us, but maybe there is in one of the corporate operations.
I keep thinking I should archive everything but only link to it if the target goes missing. Could check every time it is clicked or scan for dead links.

For a while I put magnet links under youtube videos. Got a mail from someone looking for a video for a long time. He found many pages with the deleted video on them, including mine.
I appreciate that they slightly pivoted from "science" to "anything interesting, obscure and true" which occasionally is just human drama. A show can't run for decades without adapting. I think the new format has had some real duds but I still enjoy it most of the time.
Hard to say what would happen but I think we still need to avoid the assumption that each star system remains relatively static especially over very long periods of time. You also need to consider the purpose behind colonization, if it is to spread the existence of your civilization to new worlds then no one says those worlds must be uninhabited.
Sam Altman's Vision to Remake the Chip Industry Needs More Than Money
Sleeping in a bed in a house is certainly the way humans prefer it. But thinking a society with not enough kids can survive and thrive, on the other hand, is wrong, because it is biologically impossible. It’s not a fallacy, it’s harsh truth.
In a technical sense, yes, but you need to think about what's on the other side: there will be a piezo driver amplifier, which may be driven directly from a digital output such as I2S audio from the phone ASIC.

Without some sort of preamp-ADC combination wired to the speaker, there's no way for software on the phone to use it as a microphone.
In defense of the ambiguity of digital toggles, I’d like to add that this is unsolved on most, if not all, physical light switches in homes and offices.

Despite having existed for more than 50 years and most people are using multiple toggles a day with its labels, most people are unaware of the meaning of power symbol (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_symbol)

Instagram and Threads to Restrict All Political Speech by Default
The reality that most people don't want to hear is that he could do this because he himself was the domain expert.

Requirements isn't just making lists and tickets in swimlanes. It's actually learning the domain you are building for. Sure you can still build for something you don't really understand, but it'll be garbage. In fact, writing this garbage is OK if you accept that it's just a drafting process for learning the domain challenges and potential solutions. There are no shortcuts to quality.

My advice for stakeholders is to make sure you have access to the person(s) building your application and see if they understand your domain (you can do this without constantly pestering them!). Beware bullshitters using buzzwords.

My advice for designers / programmers is to make sure your stakeholders & domain experts are keen and engaged, otherwise getting requirements and understanding is like pulling teeth. Sometime a stakeholder doesn't even want to solve the problem. They may have wanted to go in a different direction entirely or maybe there are politics involved that has them miffed. Nothing sinks a project like lazy or uninterested stakeholders.

Somewhere in Hell, a murdered baby is laughing out: "Revenge! The whole society that murdered me and so many like me is going to collapse because we are not there to save them. Revenge is sweet!"

What did you think was going to happen when you turned your medical profession into serial killers? Did you think they would be compassionate when there were too many millions of dependant elderly who could no longer work? Of course not! Those aged baby killers will get no more mercy than the babies they murdered. Good riddance to those generations!
It worked that like for many, many years (radio mics) before digital came along. Think of FM radio - if you have a good signal, it's pretty resilient to interference and in a controlled short range environment it is extremely reliable.
The thing is, you were already able to use wireless headphones on phones with a 3.5mm jack. Removing it didn't add new capabilities, it only removed a feature many people liked in a thinly veiled ploy to get everyone to buy Airpods. Sure Airpods are great, but my wired headphones were great too, and in many ways better.
>> having wireless headphones is awesome. I haven’t missed my wired headphones at all since I got galaxy buds+ with 11hr per use.

No. Wireless buds are evil. They get lost. They loose battery life over time, usually asymmetrically. And then there is the horror of "pairing" Bluetooth devices without a proper interface, holding buttons down and such. I love my Sony over-ear noise cancelling headphones, but when away from my desk I opt for wired devices every time.
Even if this were the future of emulation, we need a lot more than emulators for anything to really be considered the "future of video game preservation".

Modern games so frequently require connections to servers - often needlessly. For example, Ubisoft is shutting down the servers for 2014's The Crew on March 31, 2024. That's less than 10 years after release. When the servers are shut down, the entire game will stop working - including the lengthy single player campaign. No emulator will bring that game back from the dead.

In a similar story, Square Enix recently announced that they will be shutting down Nier: Reincarnation's servers in April 2024, less than just 3 years after its worldwide release in 2021. And yes, it's a single player game. My wife is a fan of the Nier franchise and has been playing Nier: Reincarnation since it's release. In a couple months she'll never be able to play it again. Square also pulled the plug on Babylon's Fall in 2023, less than just 1 year after it's 2022 release.

If you're concerned about game preservation, be prepared for the disaster coming soon. FPGAs won't be enough.

There are plenty of things that self center despite not having active mechanics in the sense we are talking about. Bobbleheads, an egg that you shake to have the yolk hold it in place, a lot of springy stuff in general.

Obviously there’s a mechanical force at play, but there’s a huge difference between “some springs make this work” and “these motors make it work”
>She's not missing out on anything

I disagree with this for 2 reasons:

1. Cousins are likely to be a mix of ages, probably your age +- 10 years. I think there's some benefit to that, especially having elder cousins that can teach you cool stuff / protect you at school / buy you beer etc.

2. You lose contact with the vast majority of friends you make at school, eventually. Cousins aren't the same, you're more likely to see them at holidays and events than your best friend when you were 5 years old.
Really? For me this always made intuitive sense reading it as one and zero, where zero would be off.
The trick is just to hang it and film upside down /s
Yeah, except imagine you registered it in a region where ccp-like government comes in power on a regular basis, and even without them in power, it is not exactly an LGBT-friendly place.

To be clear, I am not trying to say that CCP is in any way similar to Taliban, because it isn’t. Was just trying to demonstrate the lack of foresight happening here using your own hypothetical scenario.
Radiolab isn't peer-reviewed research. It's meant to educate and reach as many people as possible.
It's not obvious that would stay fixed: depending on the dynamics of the market, it could go up, it cold go down (The demand is for housing, not land. If you manage to increase supply for housing sufficiently by increasing density, then the value is the land could go down even if you could build many more homes on it than before). I agree it's not certain that it would go down, however.
You'd be surprised about the amount of people wanting this kind of smartphone.
The success of Framework, who are doing something similar in the Laptop world, could be a robust indicator for the demand.
Especially the replaceable battery is something we really should get back to IMHO.

> but it feels disrespectful to use them for people who want their content deleted

I think it’s ok to recognize that the artist and I want different things and that’s ok.

But people’s wishes aren’t absolute. And I don’t think it’s disrespectful to not do what people want.

Once an artist makes something and puts it out in the world, they lose control. Visual art is not something that someone owns, so they don’t have a right to decide to destroy or take back what they released.

I expect that this is unpleasant to the artist. But life is unpleasant. And the trade off is that others get to do what they want.

I think this conflict is probably ok and best, as the alternative is some sort of complicated right that would let artists be able to reach into my private collection and remove stuff that is mine, just because they made it.

I’m happier and happier with my historical process of buying some physical media that comes with a digital download that I use while the physical media just sits there gathering dust. But backups are good even if I never use them.
> It was fine for years until the botched withdrawal.

The previous government made gay sex a crime. Their seeming tolerance wasn’t because they were LGBT-friendly, it was because they were too busy fighting a losing battle against the Taliban to have time for enforcing their own anti-LGBT laws and policies. If they’d survived, they quite possibly would have made the same decision at some point
Do the math on a 100k income - everyone lives on inheritances. It's fine if you inherit a couple of mill and can live on all of the 100k. If you need to worry about savings - good luck.
Building a multi-million pound/dollar/etc line extension to a train line, including stations, for 2,000 perso -trips per year? Each ride would need to cost thousands, just to recoup the loss from building - even if the train never stopped. But it would have to stop, just for 4 people at a time. That public transportation money might be better allocated in denser areas where it's needed by more people. Instead, your use case seems like the perfect case to use all those roads:

A self-driving car would cost tens of thousands. A good bus, maybe up to 10x more. Compare that to a train and tracks and geoengineering for the tracks and building stations, etc. Otherwise, is there a minimum number of trips per year to justify such an enormous, enormous, enormous build as a rail line extension? 200? 20? 1?
The thing is that Jack headphones are so ubiquitous. When you forget your plugs or the battery is dead you can just grab a wired set for 3 bucks.

Forgetting doesn't help with adaptors which aren't really standardized, especially the passive ones. And the active ones are expensive..

My work phone still has a jack plug. I don't use it much but the times I do use it I'm really in need of it because I don't have anything else to use.
> Almost nobody wants this phone.

Evidence?

> Sure you'll get cheered on by some small group of people that wouldn't actually buy this phone either

So all the people who say they want a phone like that are lying?
What happened to Skiff can happen to any service as long as it has servers. That’s the nature of centralized technology. In a decentralized providerless ecosystem you can buy a company but you cannot buy the ecosystem. So decisions like this can never affect the end user. Decentralized network belongs to users, along with their privacy.

This is truly inspiring, thanks for sharing your experiences.
Who said anything about universal facts? I don't give a fuck what people do in their bedrooms because it's none of my business unless their acts convey negative consequences on others, and neither should others mine.

Also, what is it with accusations of my mental state? It takes a sound mind to derive a logical conclusion to the question of having children or not. If you're automatically assuming "people should have children" as a "universal fact", I would question your mental state because you are relinquishing your ability to think.

I've said elsewhere before that humans aren't special, but if there is anything that could set humans apart from other lifeforms it is our seemingly special ability to question and in some cases defy instincts and so-called "universal facts".
