I'd say the same about those who only think in absolutes.

That's a false dilemma. You can give your customers a choice in these matters with an optional hard limit, which I realize seems like a rather extreme idea these days.

Someone running a personal project will likely opt to have a low hard limit, say $10, while businesses will more likely opt in for alerts without, or with very high hard limits.

> I would have thought that an exhortation to do something lawless as soon as you hear the message would count.

That is almost literally the opposite of what Brandenburg v Ohio held! (Many people tend to do this: they assume that the phraseology is meant to limit speech along the lines of Schenck v US or Whitney v California, what is now known as the "clear and present danger" standard, which is what Brandenburg v Ohio was explicitly overturning.)

Brandenburg v Ohio held that advocating violent overthrow of the government is free speech, but you need the very direct link between the speech and the illegal actions for the speech to become illegal. The emphasis in "incitement to imminent lawless action" of Brandenburg is meant to be "imminent", and later court cases have generally held that "imminent" is meant to be read in very short timespans.

That's North and South Korea from space. Those people are almost genetically identical. They're practically clones. Why is the South so much stronger economically and technologically?

Could it have to do with different ideas? The North is a mixture of a monarchist family cult of personality and Marxism, while the South is closer to a Western liberal democracy.

I'm sure you can find other cases of ethnically identical people have massively different outcomes, but this is probably the most obvious. You can see it from space.

These are a problem for people who want to discount the importance of ideas and culture in favor of genetic determinism. If genes are the most important thing, North and South Korea should not have such a large gap in outcome.

It's a lot easier to think of examples of over time. Europe went from being backward and poor compared to the Middle East and China to basically ruling the world in a few generations. That's too fast to explain with genetics. There are loads more examples like this: Japan's sudden industrialization, the rise of China in the last 50 years, etc. In all these cases you had people suddenly leaping forward in development without much genetic change. Why weren't they always so developed if it's genetic?

I'm not arguing that genes have zero impact, but I think ideas are much more significant. Humans are thinking beings. Most of our efficacy comes from things that are not heritable. Genes only give you the base raw material.

I think that the older you get, the less new milestones/events you have (that impress you and remember in detail). This results in having less moments to refer to when looking back in time, (skipping uneventful timespans). This makes things seem closer to the current time than they really are as everything in between is empty noise.
I agree it's overblown and become a meme, but there is certainly some truth to it.

When Stadia was announced, I was one to push back about the silly "they'll just shut it down" stuff by pointing out that there's a big different between a massively invested product like Stadia and an RSS feed reader or a Could Print service. Then they showed me that investment $ wasn't a reassurance either...

I don't think they'll shut down Gemini, in fact I'd be utterly shocked if they did, so I do think it's memey and silly to avoid Gemini because "they might shut it down," but I would certainly not bet my company on it (by building on top of their APIs).

When my kid was young, it felt like time was evaporating. Days would fly by without any possibility of doing the things I needed to do, much less do the things I wanted to do. My life was defined by my time shortages. That's no longer the case. Not that I'm less busy (this is the busiest I've ever been) but I seem to have things better under control. So I think it's more about being better at time management.

I think the plan was to capture Kyiv with paratroopers in the first 24 hours and install a puppet government. After that, plan B was to do it by encircling the capital with armored units. That got bogged down and repelled. Ukraine wouldn't accept a peace deal without recovering Crimea and Donbas, which they are very far from taking by force. So both sides are going to grind it out until one of them has a political rupture a la 1917 or 1991.

> pedestrian/transit/bike traffic generates more revenue for small businesses

Sure, if you have a walkable/transitable/bikeable city. If you don't, then losing parking spaces can be an issue.

I would have to walk for 24 Google Maps minutes to get to the nearest store of any kind. And I'm close; people farther down the main road that feeds my street could face almost an hour's walk each way (with no sidewalks or shoulders; you're walking in a ditch) to get to the same place. Several large hills along that route and a hot, muggy climate means that nobody is going to bike it.

My niece, from Colorado, came to visit her grandfather (my dad). She wanted to go for a hike in the South in July. I said sure, I'll take you. Five minutes into it, she said, "Now I know why everyone is fat here. This is miserable." And my reply was "Yes, and this isn't as hot or as humid as it gets. It's actually not that bad today."
I always wondered if an oss-bid-for-pr marketplace has a point. Even repo owners could be in the loop - either taking up the offer, leaving it for others and just resorting to accepting the PR or straight up refusing the change (equivalent of closing a PR).

I think this makes sense. Right now Apple can focus its energy on something that they can more easily compete in and is absolutely overflowing with money and margins. In a few years, if Apple wants to get back into EVs they’d likely be able to just buy a smaller manufacturer with good margins (sort of like what they did with Beats). Right now Apple is the only company who can compete with NVidia (besides AMD) because they can afford to buy up TSMCs shiniest new node capacity. Until Intel does a reverse AMD and jettisons its chip design business from its fab business, being able to buy up TSMC capacity is a massive advantage.

I'd argue this is true of a lot of cities where you're likely to bump into anyone, depending on how narrow your scope is of what one considers interesting. Also true of probably most universities if they're doing anything right.

The problem with some particularly uptight places is that people aren't always open to chatting (or maybe under strict NDA), and you want to find a place on that nice area of the venn diagram where you actually do bump into and communicate with new and stimulating people.
I never understood the obsession with the chair type, model, or manufacturer. I have a normal office chair whose brand I don’t know, and I never had issues despite sitting for long periods of time. The trick first me is to never stay still in one position for more than 30 minutes and to rotate between different positions, leaning forward or backward, and other positions as if I’m sitting on the floor. For example, like the ‘Burmese’ or ‘on a stool’ positions in this picture (1). I also do the usual stretches from time to time.

One thing that I've noticed makes a difference is to be positive and complimentary to the candidate at the start of the interview. Make it clear that you're excited to talk to them and that you are genuinely excited to hear what they have to say.

I've missed out on hiring good people who were nervous or worried about doing a bad job in the interview. I'm sure I still do miss out on some but I've found a method that lets some people feel more comfortable without being overly difficult on me and can live with that.
I love watching my friends and family use Siri. Maybe 20% of the time it does what they want first try. 40% of the time they end up unlocking the phone and tapping the screen.

Yeah, I know some of those engineering managers. They all work best in well-established, large orgs with people knowing the ins and outs of their jobs.

The last time they actually developed something is quite a while ago. And managing engine suppliers, and component suppliers only gets you so far in developing the engines yourself. And we are talking super sonics ones.

Well, did your friend invite you there saying his house was a place for you to share your mind?

For me, it's an issue of scale. Your friend is a single person (or family). Twitter is a gigantic, faceless corporation (okay, Elon Musk makes it less faceless, but you know what I mean) that tries to cater to everyone—in effect, it tries to be a commons. Can we consider it one? Should we? Should we make a law that says once a social media company gets to a certain size, it can't censor anything anymore if that content is legal?

I'm generally against additional regulation. I don't think, for instance, a small pro-life forum should be forced to allow pro-choice people to spew vitriol, nor vice versa. I'm hesitant to say the same for a giant company like Twitter or Facebook. There, I think it might be more appropriate to have comprehensive filtering and self-moderation tools vs. shutting people out completely (assuming their behavior is legal).
I don't mean that the airframes are any good, I just mean that Canada has a population similar to that of California and almost half the GDP. They neighbor their closest ally and are separated by ocean and arctic wastes from anyone who would want to invade them. They don't really have much expeditionary need and their defense would be backed by all of NATO.

So a couple old multi-role fighters are sort of okay for what they are doing. Mostly air to ground missions and demonstration flights. They need to up their defense spending a bit to meet NATO obligations, but not that much honestly. No one is going to kick out Canada, especially after the USA dragged them into Iraq.

> It makes life feel short, fleeting and mundane

I read somewhere else that time speeds up when we repeat a few boring/not-so-stressful things each day.

> reviewing old entries provides a feeling of history that makes life feel soooo long and so rich

I want to agree with it. The more I take on and do, however imperfectly and which involves a bit more stress, it starts to slow down time. At least in the sense that you look back at the previous year and think "wow that was a lot and it seems like so long ago" when it actually wasn't that long ago.

> It makes life feel short, fleeting and mundane

In fact, the key might be to journal more of the mundane things. Like how many times I had to get on a call with the background verification company to speed up my move to the new company.

But I guess my question is, why would you bother with only making 4,000 cars a year, if you’re Apple? Especially if the initial cost of making that $100b market cap (which a solid iPhone quarter alone will net you) is more than $100b (not accounting for R&D tax rules fuckery because I’m not versed enough in how all that works and what the current rules are) on development work.

I have similar concerns about the Apple Vision Pro, given its small yields and current high ASP/muted demand, but at least there you can see the vision (pun unavoidable) of how it could eventually be an iPad-sized business or greater. A car only works if you do go after Tesla and Mercedes and BMW, etc.

I just don’t see any reason Apple would enter any business if not to take it on as a mass market player. Selling a $10,000 variant of a $500 watch is one thing (and that strategy failed, for what it’s worth), selling a low quantity machine that you still have to maintain and support that isn’t part of your core competency as a company is something else entirely.

I'm honestly not even sure. I had this in mind from the beginning, but I may have initially had a different vaguer comment about it and edited, I'm not sure. I sometimes edit comments right after posting them and then don't leave a note like I did for the later edit of the *s, since I assume no one read them. If this happened, I apologize.

Either way, yes, I think we are mostly in agreement. I'm not actually a big fan of Go's minimalism, so I actually see the value of such constructs.
What you're missing is some context to McCarthy's writing which is the specific voice he uses in a book like Orchard Keeper (in addition to the plot of course). It's a southern style famously associated with Faulkner and meant to mimic the spoken word of regional Southern areas in many ways. It helps to read it out loud.

You called it "ambiguous", but McCarthy's writing is often extremely verbose, an avalanche of specificity, painting extremely evocative landscapes and imagery. Here for instance is his famous description of a Comanche sneak attack:

> A legion of horribles, hundreds in number, half naked or clad in costumes attic or biblical or wardrobed out of a fevered dream with the skins of animals and silk finery and pieces of uniform still tracked with the blood of prior owners, coats of slain dragoons, frogged and braided cavalry jackets, one in a stovepipe hat and one with an umbrella and one in white stockings and a bloodstained wedding veil and some in headgear or cranefeathers or rawhide helmets that bore the horns of bull or buffalo and one in a pigeontailed coat worn backwards and otherwise naked and one in the armor of a Spanish conquistador, the breastplate and pauldrons deeply dented with old blows of mace or sabre done in another country by men whose very bones were dust and many with their braids spliced up with the hair of other beasts until they trailed upon the ground and their horses' ears and tails worked with bits of brightly colored cloth and one whose horse's whole head was painted crimson red and all the horsemen's faces gaudy and grotesque with daubings like a company of mounted clowns, death hilarious, all howling in a barbarous tongue and riding down upon them like a horde from a hell more horrible yet than the brimstone land of Christian reckoning, screeching and yammering and clothed in smoke like those vaporous beings in regions beyond right knowing where the eye wanders and the lip jerks and drools.

Tetris piece rotation algorithm discussion (2009)
Building supercars has always been a cottage industry that anyone can get involved in but nobody can dominate in the way Apple has certain classes of electronic product. There's a lot of choice, few buyers and it's not high margin compared with mass produced electronics at industry-leading markup even if engineers at the popular companies aren't more obsessed with beauty and speed than the bottom line.

What Rimac did was partner with big automotive OEMs for research joint ventures and sell a tiny number of cars and a relatively large amount of battery and drivetrain tech to other OEMs. Difficult to imagine anything less like Apple's business model than that.
