Everyone seems to forgot that a cheaper, regulated option exists, and it's Durbin debit cards. But nobody wants to use them because they don't offer the same benefits vanilla credit cards. People choose the more expensive option because it better meets the needs of customers.

The middle man doesn't really take all that much - most of interchange goes to the cost of loan origination, insurance and most importantly cash back and rewards programs. There's no annual fee 2% cash back cards. It's a little disingenuous to say the 1.5-3.5% interchange fee "mostly goes to middle men" when most of it goes right back into your pocket in one way or another.
It's a fair reaction, and I appreciate your offer of coffee.

Keep up the excellent work, creating value with your ReTool company. I am confident you will find continued success with your sustainable approach.

It's not an easy fap, but I guess I'm watching people get f*cked either way.
Thank you for your feedback (seriously!). I myself talked a few users that shared your point of view last year and that's why we ended up changing our pricing.

I do think there is more work for us to do — I do think especially as we get more enterprise customers (currently 4 of the Fortune 10 are customers; we're aiming to get to all 10 soon!), we'll be able to make it cheaper and cheaper for indie developers (maybe one day even totally free for up to, say, 100 users, or perhaps to introduce a plan that you can build public apps with unlimited users for free).

We have considered open-coring Retool. I think there are many pros to that (as you note). But my main fear is that it would be difficult to build a business around it, since we'd be stuck selling either hosting or support (neither of which is particularly high margin; cf. Elastic). Or we'd be forced to limit the open-source version to not have important features (e.g. SSO)... and it feels like we wouldn't be true to the open-source philosophy if so.

Thank you for considering Retool!
Making noise about this isn't a sign that students weren't smart enough to think to cover the camera. The article said that students had covered it.

But that's only a very immediate reactive response. A more proactive and impactful response would be to hurt the companies involved (e.g., bad PR, loss of sales, machine recall costs, legal problems), put fear into other companies doing things like that, and hopefully also prompt long-lacking better privacy legislation.

Hence, the noise.

As someone who often deals with headless machines, the best solution I have found for using my laptop as a monitor is this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJ2YDV7Q It's basically a chip to capture the HDMI signal from a headless machine, and expose an emulated webcam via USB to your laptop. It's so tiny the electronic is basically built into the cable.

For the keyboard I haven't found a good solution other than buying a standard wireless keyboard (with integrated trackpad, for the rare cases where a mouse is needed).

> Today, shopping while sitting in a comfy chair instead of aimlessly wandering around a store is becoming second nature to a lot of us

This system however was a store that you had to go to in order to look at pictures of products (that you couldn't actually touch, try on or take with you like in a real store) - so it's actually the worst of both worlds. Of course it was a solution for shopping in remote places (hence Canada), but so was the (by that time already "good old") mail order catalog, which you could use in the comfort of your own home. Those were later updated with color pictures and telephone ordering, so they were as good as this system and in some ways better.

Is there a reason why you didn't include their current battery production operations and future plans in this regard, along with solar, along with the TeslaBot that once far enough along will basically create a feedback loop that will make practically everything we currently do "free" to do?

The TeslaBot with even a dumb level of "AI" for learning and mimicking actions the Bot is shown to perform and can mimic based on its non-meat stick appendages - whole systems and funnels from farming to getting a cooked meal on the dinner table could be (eventually) fully automated with little to no human oversight, where the only initial inputs are raw-natural resources; the problem then that 100% of humanity needs to focus on is then heavy oversight and real-time in-person witnessing that such systems aren't being corrupted-captured by bad actors.

There are other synergies with companies Elon is involved with that people seem to fail to see the synergies of, including but not limited to his effort towards colonizing Mars - of which there will be plenty of ongoing

Elon also controlling Starlink, assuming every Tesla vehicle will have capacity in future for their vehicles to be connected, they'll be able to undercut competitors - and will also act as downward pressure on competition to not overcharge; I believe Elon stated his goal is $5 billion/month from Starlink subscriptions to pay for his Mars efforts, with the first organization to get space mining operations into play - able to extract and send home refined product - has then tapped into the unlimited abundance of the universe, the profits of which reinvested fuels progress along an exponential path; once these systems are in play and self-sustainable, reaching that point by being a better offering, value-price wise, then that frees up time to focus on launching the next puzzle piece - each puzzle piece compounding with the others; his "free" time, fortunately for us, most recently leading to him somewhat impulsively - but clearly his impulses are existential crisis-importance driven - he bought Twitter to protect free speech and unveiled-unmasked the corruption and treason via releasing the Twitter Files.

Elon's arguably 20 years ahead of everyone else in regards to the holistic possibilities that his ecosystem of companies will allow for, and arguably every year there is the possibility he leapfrogs another 10 years ahead.

I wish that were true. The desktop site editors (Frontpage, Dreamweaver) are long dead. There are barriers to My First PHP Site that just weren’t there before: you can’t put up a site without https (unless you want scary browser warnings and no Google coverage), you can’t send mail without a whole bunch of complex server headers and expect it to be delivered, you can’t make a simple mistake in your code without the server being compromised by constantly scanning nefarious bots. And that’s even before you get on to the insane complexity of the frontend tech and tooling if you want to make anything look vaguely contemporary.

Discovery is broken - check out the story posted here the other day about Google ranking SEO review churn above independent sites. Facebook and Twitter will randomly bury your promo work because they don’t like the links in it for some reason. And if your independent site is in the same area as a VC-funded one, you’ll be buried by the sheer weight of their marketing paid by the free VC money.

You can still build a site with Wordpress, Squarespace and Wix. It won’t do much but it’ll exist. But no one will find it.

Indeed Ted!

That part is going to be challenging. But not too challenging I think because the number of nodes that will be relevant will be limited and finite. Even brute force solving would work I think. Many nodes will be instantly ruled out because the time differences will be too great to be viable. That's going to be a lot of fun. But I'm sure that when that part arrives where will be plenty of smart people willing to offer directions.

Till that time, I have a collaborator in America helping with gathering gunshot sounds and I have intentions to make a matcher that also determines the start time of the event accurately enough to be used for the next stage, to feed into the solver that does the localization.

I expect I'll be able to model this to some extent on the way that birdnet from Cornell University works, except that's just identifying a bird and not trying to find with high accuracy the start time of the event. But ultimately that part comes down to generating spectragrams and doing object detection on the spectragram image. Even YoloV6, which should be more accurate than resnet as used in birdnet, can run a nano version of this object detect quite quickly on a Raspberry Pi.

It should be possible to make this part within a year.

Doing localizations by hand I once heard one that localized to the middle of a car park over 3km away. I drove there and could still smell the sulpher. Also, only in that carpark, not in an adjacent carpark. This suggests that accuracy could well have been within a 40-50m diameter. Amazing!

I also tested this with an ultrasonic mic. I could see signatures of small critters that were likely mice as we had chickens at the time. I would need a bunch of ultrasonic mics and an rtk GNSS system to do testing but I expect it might accurate enough in a very small area to determine where rodents are calling from.

I'd like to develop this solution with a mind to extending it's use more generically so that it could be used for species surveys in bioacoustic research.
IDK but I bought some NVDA throughout last year in my self directed IRAs and it’s really been single-handedly keeping me above market return. E.g. without it i’d be worse than S&P over the same period, lol.
One of the main differences is that much of Mathematica is written in C++ (for example the UI). The Mathematica language then itself is a slow language (term rewriting, is not a really good low-level language).

Medley is written is largely written in Interlisp (and a bit of Common Lisp), including its UI. Interlisp (originally as BBN Lisp) was originally developed as an integrated development environment with complete source management (similar what Smalltalk later did). In the 70s it was then moved to the metal on early workstations (again, similar what Smalltalk did) -> it was its own OS. It does memory management, networking, graphics, all in Interlisp, ... Its purpose was to be a development environment for Lisp (here Interlisp).

Mathematica's purpose is to be an integrated tool in the mathematics domains, including applied mathematics in physics, chemistry, visualization, biology, ...

The nearest system to Interlisp-D is/was Smalltalk 80.
I think Display Target Mode only worked with Thunderbolt, which was different.

I just used Firewire (er... maybe IEEE-1394, since it was in PC space) as a temporary and fast network connection for running (eg) IP stuff and file transfers with SMB, but it could have been used permanently.

At the time, plugging a Firewire cable in betwixt two Windows machines generated this network automatically, with RFC 3330 addresses for each end.

It just worked; each machine could be addressed by name nearly instantly after connection, and whatever file shares they had available could then be accessed with the same mechanisms that would be used on the normal Ethernet LAN.

I never did anything particularly complex with it.
I guess this statement is a cheap protection against cheap journalists. Otherwise by now all the tabloids would be full of scary stories about deepfake politicians, deep-porn and all types of blackmailers (by the way, there is so much competition in AI now that some company may well pay for a wave of such articles to destroy the competitor). And in response to this, hearty old men would clobber the Congress with petitions to immediately ban all AI. Who wants that?

China does not, apparently, own any ports in the US directly at the moment, although

Worldwide, a huge number of ports are owned by Chinese companies, financed by the government of China, or both. This is unsurprising given the size of China's shipping industry, but it's also part of a policy to increase the worldwide influence of China.

Apple Silicon: Power and thermal glory
I fail to see the purpose of this.

Call me harsh, but I think this is one of those things that is fun to create but not very useful. Possibly that's the reason it was made.

The reasoning has everything to do with confusion. This will be a de-facto leaky abstraction of an experience. Many windows programs will not work and require debugging. It isn't clear to the user that this is actually Ubuntu, so the system ultimately becomes less usable when something (inevitably) goes wrong as you are now dealing with nuances of two different systems at once.

I can only see this being useful in situations where a user has learned the 'bare minimum' of windows functionality and needs to be presented with a similar UI ('fooled') to be able to function in the OS at a basic level.

EDIT: And they offer a paid version that 500s? This is starting to read like very suspicious software...

They improve absolutely nothing from a buyer's perspective. Every step of the transaction is made worse. You can't glance at the entire inventory. You never know how much of an item is left.

So true, we build large complex frameworks, abstractions over abstractions.
Try to make things easy to build and maintain.
But I think the problem is that many developers that using these frameworks not even know the Javascript basics.
Of course there are smart people at these large companies.
But they try to make things easy instead of learn people the basics.
We over engineer the web applications, create too much layers to hide the actual language.
20 years ago, every web developer can learn building websites by just check the source code.
Now you can see the minified Javascript after a build, and nobody understand how it works, even the developers that build the web application don't recognize the code after the build.
I love Javascript, but only pure Javascript, and yes, with all his quirks.
Frameworks don't protect you from the quirks, you have to know it so you don't make quirks, and with all the abstraction layers, you not even know what you are really building.
Keep it simple, learn Javascript itself instead of frameworks, and you downsize the Javascript codebase a lot.
