PFAS didn't exist 75 years ago. Now we've almost permanently contaminated our environment and atmosphere with it, that's quite a big change.

There are a couple of differences:

1. the sheer number of cables today makes an individual - or even several - cuts far less dramatic.

2. there's likely still a perceived difference between a nation-state being seen to openly take responsibility for cutting cables, and terrorist groups doing so.

It's still an interesting chang (and everyone should read Mother Earth Mother Board), and you're probably still right it will happen more often, and things could escalate very quickly.

3 is a nuisance, but the Red Sea route cuts thousands of miles and according latency between Europe and South Asia - Africa is big and both the African and direct Eastbound overland routes have all kinds of "challenges". If more of them are cut, expect a drastic escalation.

It is hysterical to me people think this.

It is just because you are not accounting for all the people trying this and failing. By definition, no one is watching all the youtube videos that only get 50 views per episode of a podcast.

It isn't hard if you use a massive selection bias towards the winners and just assume you will also be a winner.

PFAS levels have gone down because we drink treated water. Making municipal water safe to drink is a big industry now. Anyone drinking only rainwater is exposed to those higher levels of whatever is in the rainwater. A small amount of rainwater is probably fine, but if you really do live off the grid year round then you need to treat your rainwater.

Of course you can do worse. You could buy weapons, and pay mercenaries to kill people and destroy infrastructure with them. The point is you can do so much better than let generation hoard this much of economical power and wait hundred years for some of them accidentally do something benficial with it.
It would benefit a budding satellite ISP to suddenly have a critical “land line“ in an active war zone severed and their long term sustainability questioned.
I get that, but the author did not try something like the BSL, just went to a fairly typical proprietary license.

Even the right open source license, such as the AGPL, would probably have worked well, with the proprietary license as an option (in the same way he tried LGPL + MIT).

I saw something about that one recently, maybe it was on Spacetime. At first it bothered me, but then I sort of made my peace with it since like you said, it's physically impossible to see it coming and we'd all die instantly. It's almost like the civilisation equivalent of going in your sleep. I could drop dead from an aneurysm 5 minutes from now. No point worrying about it though. There's sort of a morbid comfort in that.

Med school students aren’t competitive type A driven psychos because they’re writing tuition checks.
If it gets to the point where feature-length AI movies or AI TV series basically cost nothing to produce, there will be so much inane crap that the only option is likely to be to ignore it all. So I can foresee it possibly becoming that there will still be a big market for provably human made content (made in traditional ways) since if it took time, effort and cost to make then it’s more likely to be worth watching.

And given that any old crap could just be made with AI, hopefully that will encourage studios to only put that cost into making the more promising projects, so quality in general may improve.

In this case, slightly worse; it's 20% slower than an M3 Pro (though the naming implies that maybe they're aiming more at the Max or Ultra end of the market, in which case maybe it's a lot worse?)
Also Firefox doesn't really support installing a PWA on the desktop (while it does on mobile). I don't see any clear intention from anybody to make PWA a viable alternative to the various App stores and software repositories in general.
People will assign blame whether or not they have proof. E.g. the threshold for blaming the Houthi's like the article does is near zero since "everyone" already see them as a threat in the area, so assigning blame or not is down to how much force Western powers will use, not whether or not they use it.

A great experiment to do would be to sit people down and have a quiz application like Duolingo randomly choose answers, them seeing if the answers are right/wrong.

I suspect, much like experiments showing how people prefer/like (Familiarity effect) art they have seen in a previous session (even if months later and they don't remember and can't explain why they like it more than other art!), that students would pick up some correct/incorrect answers, because they can't help but read and notice any interesting differences from their mental model.

I have built an app which prepares exercises for you based on your subject and uses LLM-chosen emojis to represent each exericse. It notifies you with the emoji for each lesson each day with the idea of a visual cue but now you mention it using a dynamic icon for the app might be more important of a visual cue (to get the daily cadence/habit), rather than something recognisable

A lot of people have told me they'll buy it when it gets down to around $1,000 and I just don't see a way to get there from here.

You can drop the second display, make the frame out of cheaper parts, that gets you down to what -- $1,200 in costs? Maybe they get the cost of the chips down? I don't think they'll ever use a cheaper main display -- if anything they'll just keep improving the quality. I don't see this going below $2,000 any time soon.

A Quantum Trick Implied Eternal Stability. Now the Idea May Be Falling Apart
I was a big Tableau champion at our org. Lots of dashboards, led a user group, was the go-to expert for a while (think 10 years ago). For us, what killed it was the pricing. They got very greedy very fast. Justifying a 4-digit license, per desktop, was the real killer. We just couldn’t, so the creation of dashboards became a tool of a “priesthood” of sorts. Everyone loved the way the dashboards looked and performed, but people very, very rarely used them. After years trying, I can remember ONE decision that was sorta-adopted based on a dataviz.

PowerBI are their lunch because it was “free” with the rest of our Microsoft stuff, so everyone could make the shiny dashboards no one uses instead of just a few.

In some cases we just wrote our own d3-based visualizations. It was easier than dealing with the constant licensing headaches Tableau brought.
You are right but there is a difference between a good advertising agency (JvM) and a good design agency...

Looking at the advertising award shows in 2022 and 2021 this also seems to be a "gold" idea so Berlin got probably a big discount if they paid anything at all. All for the awards...

It's not really ridiculous if you think about what you're giving them.

You are massively benefiting their platform by providing them data which they use to train their services and then sell those services to other customers.

I'd make a case that the data they collect is the most important part of their business and the free tier is a major component of this.

The only difference is that sitting on the back of the bus happened, but “erasing white people from history” did not.

Also, which “white people” are we talking about? Lumping people by color, that is an issue.

It is the Hausnummer (building number). Every building has one and the signs have to fulfill certain requirements.

Usually they increase from the city center outwards, even numbers on the right side, odd numbers on the left.

We write them always after the street name, which drives Google Maps and other badly internalized software nuts.

Buildings don't have official names, some have informal ones, like the Gropius Bau.
They do to a degree but most of the money comes from the government to subsidize costs. I’m not privy to the amount or percentage but they do cry about it when the residency union (CIR) asks for inflation adjusted salary increases.

The analyst firm seems like they specialize in display panels, electronics etc. so it makes sense that their BOM breakdown doesn't include all the other (quite expensive components) that go into the device.

So this number isn't "wrong" so much as specialized.
It’s been my experience that async Python frameworks tend to turn IO bound problems into CPU bound problems with a high enough request rate, because due to their nature they act as unbounded queues.

This ends up made worse if you’re using sync routes.

If you’re constrained on a resource such as a database connection pool, your framework will continue to pull http requests off the wire that a sane client will cancel and retry due to timeouts because it takes too long to get a connection out of the pool. Since there isn’t a straightforward way to cancel the execution of a route handler in every Python http framework I’ve seen exhibit this problem, the problem quickly snowballs.

This is an issue with fastapi, too- https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/issues/5759

Reposting from a comment of mine about 60 days ago:

I recently ran a little shootout between Superset, Metabase, and Lightdash — all open source with hosted options. All have nontrivial weaknesses but I ended up picking Lightdash.
Superset is the best of them at data visualization but I honestly found it almost useless for self-serve BI by business users if you have existing star schema. This issue on how to do joins in Superset (with stalebot making a mess XD) is everything difficult about Superset for BI in a nutshell. https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/8645

Metabase is pretty great and it's definitely the right choice for a startup looking to get low cost BI set up. It still has a very table centric view, but feels built for _BI_ rather than visualization alone.

Lightdash has significant warts (YAML, pivoting being done in the frontend, no symmetric aggregates) but the Looker inspiration is obvious and it makes it easy to present _groups of tables_ to business users ready to rock. I liked Looker before Google acquired it. My business users are comfortable with star and snowflake schemas (not that they know those words) and it was easy to drop Lightdash on top of our existing data warehouse.

I’ve been sitting on some code for about 15 years because it’s the key to disrupting a couple of entrenched players and would enable cloud vendors to offer the functionality “as a service”. No way I want Amazon/google/MS to run away with it.

Nobody likes leaving money on the table so they will start charging additional fees. Not tuition but some other things, obligatory insurance, mandatory auxilary premium fee, whatever, anything that plausibly falls outside of donation agteement.

Your attitude is not helpful. Even if you choose to not use an Apple device, as a developer you do not get to choose the devices of your audience, and dropping every Apple user is a tough sell. Apple is also correct in that few people use PWAs, so they will get away with it, unless pressured otherwise.

Html and css have only been getting better over the past two decades; they are not the problem; no need to resort to inline styles and tables. As for going back to server-side templating with php, this is a very good option.

> Video game developers and publishers will look at this as an example of leaving money on the table, since people continue to enjoy the game without having to pay them any more money. Yes, the tail is long, but it doesn't end up with more money for the game company so they will see it as waste.

I understand where you are coming from - but it's not entirely true, that there's no additional money in it.

Blizzard had built a very strong reputation of making games all of which have this long life and thus are are always guaranteed to be worth buying straight at launch. Who knows how many of Diablo IIs lifetime sales can be attributed to that, but it sure had some influence.

And D2 again delivering on that Blizzard promise only strengthened that reputation - which again translated into a positive effect on sales on subsequent Blizzard releases.

Resurrected is another title that most obviously and directly benefited from the longevity of D2. The way D2 was designed surely did translate into sales of Ressurected.

But D2's longevity also contributed a LOT to the popularity of the franchise overall - which in turn surely had some influence on the sales of D3 and D4.

Then there's also the battle chest, which didn't sell badly to my knowledge - and don't even get me started on all the various Diablo Merchandise you can get. I'm pretty sure that made them a little bit of money as well.

It's not just the long tail of sales on the game itself - there's also a lot of additional, compounding long-term benefits. Publishers often disregard those benefits, because they aren't able to reliable measure those effects and put a number on it. And they generally often value short-time profit gains over nurturing a long-time fanbase.

And all off that of course leads down the path of yearly sequels that barely improve anything over last years game, but are still soooo expensive to make, that publishers need to sell loot boxes and battle passes and microtransactions and dlcs, just to make even - and then cutting short the long tail with next years' release. Rince and repeat until people get fatigued and the cash-cow is milked dry...

Maybe, just maybe, churning out a few less titles that each have a longer tail of sales and steadly grow a loyal fanbase and increase the sales-appeal of the franchise as a whole, is not that bad of a long-term strategy after all. Maybe this could serve as an example after all...
In a lot of places drinking water is pumped from open air aquifiers(a lake basically) so presumably it contains everything rain does, since it doesn't go through the rock layers.
It's such a niche product with no real world applications. Keep it expensive; no big deal.
I think the main reason that they aren't going to focus on cost reduction is that it's not really good enough right now. The people that won't buy it at $3500 won't buy it at $2000, either. Anything north of $1,000, if you're not just selling it to ultra wealthy people who don't care about money, it's got to be a core part of their existence like a phone is, or their job is paying for it. And I don't think the product, as it is, is that. A lot of people wouldn't use it if you gave it to them _for free_.
