Agreed. (And for some of us, whole apples also have too much sugar--as do most other fruits with whole raspberries and passionfruit being exceptions, and pureeing the raspberries or incorporating them into a smoothie is just as bad as juicing them.)
The Amiga only displays one interlace field per 1/30th of a second -- that is to say that it is effectively 15(ish)fps in interlaced mode. It's only using a traditional 200 line output, just phase shifted for the second field. It's basically a hack.

It flickers because the persistence of most CRT screens is less than 1/15th of a second, and so by the time you see the second field, the first field is already diminishing in brightness. IIRC Commodore released (or wanted to release?) a monitor that had a longer persistence.
Track and field is an interesting control case as men and women don't compete against one another or practice together in it, where these other sports that are increasingly mixed would be the ones to watch for this 10% rule change dynamic. I was referring to audience, but it's a general "space," thing, where Korean baseball games may have crossed that threshold and then become more feminine spaces as a conseqeunce.
Don't most businesses want to harvest customer info anyway? Will there be opposition from the IaaS providers?
"I have an inbox" is the principle behind Internet Freedom, where services can be accessed permissionlessly and people can interact freely without government restrictions.

This takes us down a road to a centralized internet with government agencies acting as gatekeepers. Not only is this dangerous, in making political repression orders of magnitude easier, it is inefficient, as it replaces the apolitical efficiency of the permissionless internet with a bureaucratic and friction-laden process for internet interactions.

"Just build your own website" has rapidly turned into "just build your own data center, domain registrar, CDN and DDoS protection shield, T1 ISP, advertising network, search engine, and defeat the VISA/MasterCard duopoly if you want any income". The pro-deplatforming crowd has shown that they'll use every possible measure to make a site they don't like impossible to operate, rather than stopping at their claim that they just don't want the content on Facebook or whatever
I recently finished my first "in anger" project with an Observable notebook. This involved learning Observable Plot, Arquero, relearning bits of Javascript, and integrating it with a Rust based simulator that's my data generation process.

It's honestly been really wonderful. Learning all of those tools has taken some significant energy, and I'm missing some functionality I'd love around parameterizing my data generator, but the final notebook is beautiful and functional.

Using markdown and reactivity makes notebooks like this actually feel usable. Jupyter's custom format made version control a giant pain and without reactivity your iteratively designed notebook easily becomes a write-only, stateful mess. I've also tried making this work using Quarto and their Observable integration and it was hacky and piecemeal.

Genuinely, this was the first time I've been pleasantly surprised and excited to write a notebook and share it with others. I'm sure there will be more sharp edges, but it's become my first choice notebook tool after this project.
Sergey Brin Talk at AGI House Hosting Google Gemini Hackathon [video]
I'm glad to hear that "Postwar" by Judt has a great audio recording, as I've read that the is book highly recommended by academic historians. This puts it next on my listening list (other books on my list about the 20th Century include "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" by Rhodes and "Shanghai 1937: Stalingrad on the Yangtze" by Harmsen).

I'm struggling to think of a top three list from audiobooks alone in terms of memorability and enjoyment, but I can list a few that had a measurable impact on my life.

1. "What I Talk About When I Talk About Running" by Haruki Murakami, narrated by Ray Porter (coincidentally, also the narrator for the Bobiverse book you mentioned). This was a major influence of increasing my running volume and moving on to a more intense intermediate middle-distance program, and his experiences also gave me the motivation to push through discomfort in running and certain parts of life when necessary (with the ideas that "Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional," and that even world-class elite runners have days when they don't feel like training, but they go out and do so anyway).

2. "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, narrated by Sissy Spacek. This reading wasn't required by my school growing up, but I've wanted to read this book for several years due to its great reputation. The audiobook version helped me finally enjoy the book over a month or so. I still remember Atticus Finch's quote that "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view [...] until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it," and the idea helped navigate through some complicated negotiations and social situations at various times.

3. Various other classics (sneaking a bit around the limit of a top three). The audiobook version of Clarke's "2001: A Space Odyssey" was an influence that led to an increased interest with space exploration and astronomy, and readings of Huxley's "Brave New World" and Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" helped me better appreciate the damaging effects of excessive escapism with entertainment, versus choosing efforts that require more struggle and difficulty.

I've also become more informed through listenings to Carreyrou's "Bad Blood" about the fall of Theranos, and Quinones's "Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic," though classic literature has interestingly been typically more relevant to my day-to-day life than non-fiction books so far, with the exception of certain memoirs such as Murakami's.

The weird thing for me here is... huh?

Who isn't going to set their prices relative to their competitors in a market? And also try to have as low a cost as possible, so they have as good a profit margin as possible? It's basic business 101.

If THAT is price fixing, then literally every business ever in the history of business has done price fixing.

That also isn't colluding with anyone, near as I can tell. Maybe if you did a wink-wink-nod-nod to each other while driving by? Typically when I've heard of price fixing, there was some explicit cartel or industry assoc or meeting between folks or whatever where they could actually agree to something, punish 'non compliance', etc.

This feels like the Google Antitrust case, where no one can even seem to say what they would have reasonably expected Google to do instead that would make any sense, and the issue is more that there are as-yet-unresolved structural components that no one is able to articulate a rule that would prevent whatever problem everyone is getting worked up about.
Eh, I'm really not convinced they'd be effective. If they're trying, then sure whack them with price fixing charges.

I'm just not aware of any markets where these guys are dominant. You STILL have the prisoners dilemma issue, as there are tons of smaller landlords out there that definitely aren't playing in this game no matter what you're doing.

And I don't see how this is THAT much different from just doing a search for rental properties in your area on zillow and setting your rent prices accordingly. If THAT is price fixing, then how does anyone expect a market to work at all?

This reminds me of when people say, "those stories of street crime are exaggerated." It's content-free. And "any risks related to money laundering" is rather dismissive, isn't it?

Right, my mistake, the definition of supernatural I would like to take is actually referring to the strength of the material, and not the material itself. In my original comment I made a reference to both of those things, but side by side the definitions are confusing.
The Amiga was not originally meant to be a game console - the Amiga 1000 launch event featured Andie Warhol and Debbie Harry ("Blondie") using the computer to make art. For a period, the Amiga was the gold standard for video FX in TV stations and film studios. It just so happened that its features were very good for games, so the gaming industry produced a lot for it.

The abortive successor CD32 was a game console (trying to do what Playstation did a couple of years later), but it was a late hail-mary from an already zombified company.

The original Amiga was built with expansion ports, but Commodore saw them as a way to sell more widgets - very few add-ons were produced, and they were very expensive. Aftermarket manufacturers existed, but they couldn't grow significantly: unlike IBM-compatible PCs, the Amiga never managed to get a presence large enough to sustain a large hardware ecosystem.

I'm using a simplistic and quantifiable measure of wealth - capital assets. I'd also admit to using a short-hand of wealthy people as equal to billionaires.

I don't see the purpose in comparing billionaires quantifiable wealth to other forms of wealth considering the high probability that billionaires are wealthy in all other forms as well.

That's how TV's worked back in the day, yes. It would have led to flicker when you had lots of sharp changes in image content across scanlines, but not otherwise. E.g. filling the whole screen with a solid color, or even a smooth color gradient, would've worked quite fine in interlace modes.

Unfortunately, this inherent limitation of interlaced display went unrecognized in the Amiga dev community - everyone would've known that interlaced screens tended to flicker a lot but most devs didn't know why, or how to properly work around the issue.

This is about KYC for servers. There are plenty of reasons to think that this will be completely ineffective because foreign providers are under no such obligation. It's also incredibly misguided because the providers that generally harbor abuse are overwhelmingly in foreign countries - no one is starting a bulletproof host in the US. And given that providers will likely only implement the minimum required KYC, it is not even going to be as sophisticated as selfie verification. Which means in the event criminals do want to use a US hosting provider, they will use a $5 fake ID Photoshop template like they always have or pay $15 for a premade account. Even if more sophisticated verification like Onfido is used, that will raise the cost of getting an account with a fake ID to about $150 (that's the price of most crypto exchange accounts on fraud forums).

Also, little barriers to entry like this are the kind of things that discourage initiative and make our economy slightly less competitive. When I was a teenager I wrote Linux tutorials on vultr.com for $50 each to be credited to my account, which I used to pay for hosting before I had a debit card. I had no drivers license so if I encountered some dialog asking for an ID I would've just clicked away and been disappointed. There are 17 year olds running hosting businesses on lowendtalk.com - should their $1000 a month in revenue business be expected to consult with a lawyer to write a 40 page customer identification plan?
It takes a lot of resources to provide modern amenities like clean water, sanitary sewers, electricity, gas, telecom lines, roads, etc. Economies of scale make it cheaper to provide these things if people live closer together.

>> when you'd have to import the steel. We still wouldn't be competitive on cost.

Just because steel is made locally doesn't make it any cheaper. Transport costs are very small these days, thanks to modern shipping. So a local steel producing isn't going to sell below the worldwide market rate, which is defined by the largest steel producers and consumers on a global scale. I remember similar debates years ago about oil, that if the US produced enough domestically that imports could stop and local prices drop. That isn't how the modern world of free trade works.
One thing I'd add to this is to schedule it in the future. Sometimes, you can't bring yourself to block all websites right now, but you can happily make it a problem for your future self. I've written a similar script to do this and had success with it.

I know what you mean, but the problem is that people make these critical decisions based on fashion. IME, in my anecodotal and subjective observations, that's what drives most of them and it's maddening. More specifically, they seem to shop between different 'brands', like consumers (perhaps a product of conditioning), and then like loyal consumers they support whatever the brand sells.

It's like making food and shelter into fashion - are you going to stop eating this year? What's the brand selling? Starvation?
I'd say that density is generally a good thing, IMO. The more people live in a place, generally access to things is more convenient, commutes are shorter, etc. Low density generally means sprawl.

> Building crab fishing boats doesn't have an evolution that leads to building nuclear submarines

You're putting words in my mouth because that is probably not how people would start out.

But the literal incorrectness of that statement is so wrong it is puzzling. The shipbuilding industry, which builds nuclear submarines, started with some extremely modest boats. The path we followed to get to where we are was precisely starting with little fishing boats and evolving to where we are now. There is obviously a path from small boats to large boats. To suggest otherwise is absurd. As is the idea that small companies can't become big companies or move to make more sophisticated products.

You might be about to make the argument that government funding is necessary or something, but the big problem here is unusually simple - the US is not globally competitive at manufacturing, a startup would be expected to fail if left to compete in the market and that is why nobody is going to try (or succeed). They've already been beaten out of the market.
Density == crime? There exist dense cities in the world that don't have a crime problem.

Any time somebody tells you how simple C is by comparison, point them at https://port70.net/~nsz/c/c11/n1570.html#6.2.4p5:

> An object whose identifier is declared with no linkage and without the storage-class specifier static has automatic storage duration, as do some compound literals. The result of attempting to indirectly access an object with automatic storage duration from a thread other than the one with which the object is associated is implementation-defined

(I bet in practice almost all implementations behave as an equivalent C++ would, as per your notes, so only the ordering is relevant. But people maintaining C implementations have on occasion shown themselves to be their users' enemies, so don't quote me on this!)
