> One obstacle is that trains vary in door positions or widths. How would you solve that problem without buying entirely new rolling stock with a uniform door layout?

It doesn't have to be fancy. Chain link fencing with rolling gates can be made just about any size. You could either have the gates on motion/object sensors so they only opened when a train was at the platform and stopped, or use the low-tech method of just hiring some guys to open and close them by hand.

In any case, you could get by for a hell of a lot less than $54 million bucks per station.
Not same thrill, but I am damn exicited about Astro and HTMX. These make fast, easy websites possible again :)

Both kinda competitors but can also be used together.
I'm implying that Chinese people get a better deal out of state investment into auto companies that American get from theirs.
I can't agree.

While computers of course have a ton of shortcomings and difficulties, they allowed easy access to and sharing of information. Collaboration has become much, much easier. To say nothing of plain communication, by text, voice, of video calls. If you think computes suck, try going 50 years back and do a long-distance call (and then pay the bill).

The same thing immensely powered commerce, both online stores, and plain brick-and-mortar stores where you pay by your card. I suspect that productivity gains in the commerce / retail sales area should be very noticeable.

The general meager observed productivity gains may be a result of the way they are observed (much like Amazon is a company with near-zero profits, such a terrible malinvestment!) and how they are distributed. The latter may mean not just siphoning monetary gains, but also changing patterns of control within corporations.

> It's big enough to lock out many potential small business founders.

They can open an Einzelunternehmen (sole proprietorship) instead. You shouldn't (and cannot) go all the way to the complexities of a GmbH (LLC) if your company is that tiny.

> But also many ordinary inexperienced people can have that amount of money up front, yet still be deterred by the complexity of a 6 week long incorporation process as described in this article.

Back to my point then. If they're not ready to put up with okay-ish bureaucratic friction in the founding phase, they're not ready to open a company. Because if you think opening the company is hard, wait until payroll or tax season is upon you.

> I am generally suspicious of rhetoric like "you're a little well off, so we can heap arbitrary amounts of bullshit on you and you shouldn't complain".

You're completely mischaracterizing what I said. Don't do that.
You don't need to upload any time series data. You can just upload your the final metrics at the end of the run. Admittedly though, W&B loses a lot of its value in that case since you can't really get any insight into runs in progress.

Process can prevent a small fraction of bad hires from doing much damage. Once a critical mass of bad employees is reached the process stops working.

The friction is precisely the point.
I wonder how Fourier transformations are taught in engineering courses, because the idea that it could be "lossy" is strange and not obvious to me. It has an inverse after all.
The bugs you find while working on something are trivial ones; the hard bugs come from integration with other components.

Additionally most software runs as a service this day, so you have fast deployment iterations to collect errors.

Even for something like games, they get OTA updates all the time, fixing bugs that were only found while people were playing the game.

No, no, combustion works very well too.

If Dave Calhoun legitimately feared he'd be set on fire in public, he'd probably actually pay attention to the shit he's creating instead of being sure that worst case scenario he'd retire with a few tens of millions of USD more.
It's a decision of axioms. You are free to believe any set of axioms, because they will per definition be unprovable (Gödel et al.), so the word ignorance doesn't quite apply (arguably).

Observing the behavior of fundamental particles following laws is different than touching the laws themselves. Analogous to observing this website is different than seeing the backend code.
Numbers have properties beyond their order, right, e.g. factorization.

Maybe the field you are looking for is Number theory? Or maybe algebra and group theory?

But I don't quite understand your sentence:

> [...] I feel a lot of detail is lost when we only think about the structure of an object as its total count, and not its composition/order.

Maths is concerned a lot with how numbers can be constructed or composed from other numbers, ir other mathematical structures.

Still, there is a difference between the abstract notion of 4 and objects where we assign some measurable quantity (e
g. counting similar objects, let's say turtles, and saying in total it's "4 turtles").

Numbers are not concerned with counting alone, but that's the easiest way to construct numbers.
Subtle detail of complexity analysis: the input is of length log(n), so taking n^k steps for any positive number k is exponential time.
If it is not for employment right now, I'd say some basic server side rendering + HTMX. This will probably be one of the "hot" tech stacks in 2-5 years. The reason is simply, fast rendering and easy to make and use.

So your liability is limited. That’s like asking why you need a seatbelt.

The main difference is the how/where the media is consumed.

With Kodi, the primary consumption is at the place where Kodi runs and typically there is no server. kodi can support lots of plugins and act as a interface for different media sources/apps. This makes kodi feel a bit clunky.

With Jellyfin & plex the primary place of consumption is a client running on your favourite device while the heavy lifting of downloading and transcoding is done on the server. This abstracts the different media sources from the clients and clients are just focused on consuming media.
Wow, that is pretty cool. I had never heard of a laptop with a switch for discrete graphics before. Sony definitely had some neat features in the VAIO line.

I should point out that Nix exists as an independent Linux Package Manager (hereafter referred to as "The Nix Package Manager") -- completely separate from NixOS and the Nix Programming Language...

That is, The Nix Package Manager can be used independently of NixOS or The Nix Programming Language to install software on any Linux system (or MacOS) from the Nix Package Repository (search it at: https://search.nixos.org/packages) regardless of any knowledge (or any lack of knowledge!) that a given user has (or doesn't have!) of the Nix Programming Language...

Here's how to install it on a non-NixOS system (top half of page):

https://nixos.org/download/

(Basically just "$ sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon" for multi-user setup, or "$ sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --no-daemon" for single-user setup...)

The idea of running another Linux distro's package manager/installer to install things from their repository onto your Linux distro is not a new one -- in fact, it has been done rather successfully on many Linux distros for some time...

This concept invariably brings us to Bedrock Linux, a distribution whose sole purpose is to run package managers/installers -- from other distros!

https://bedrocklinux.org/index.html

...Or at least attempt to!

That's because some distros/package managers/Linux software -- may create conflicts with other installers/package managers/Linux software...

As can be seen here, from these Bedrock compatibility charts/"compatibility matrices":

https://bedrocklinux.org/0.7/distro-compatibility.html

https://bedrocklinux.org/0.7/feature-compatibility.html

Still, if not perfect in the current day, the idea of being able to mix-and-match package managers/installers from multiple Linux distros/repositories -- is a very compelling one!

Both the Nix and the Bedrock teams should be highly lauded for their efforts! Nix to create hermetic software environments, Bedrock to mix-and-match (and sort out compatibility issues!) between multi distro package managers/installers and software repositories...

Both are worth a serious look -- and potentially some of your time!

They are more closely related than you suggest. Both methods are using an approximation of log2 to get an initial guess. One gets it from "FPS(n)", the other gets it from the floating point representation of n, where you can roughly find the log2(n) by looking at the exponent of n in the float representation. You can also use the mantissa to refine the guess further.

I've been using the Onyx Boox Max 2 for a couple years and it's a pretty good device. When I purchased it they stated they would update the Android version, but they never did so it's stuck on Android 6. For reading PDFs it's good and there aren't really any competitors with this large of a screen. I'll often read books in dual page format, or read manuals in single page.

The device crashes frequently if you try to use any third party apps, and the pen has major lag if you're not using their notes app. Don't turn on the wifi or else the battery drains extremely fast. Make sure you don't leave it charged overnight or else the battery might balloon and explode. When this happened Onyx replaced my battery for free.

Despite these shortcomings, it's still better than the Sony digital paper (which I've also used and sold). The pen is pressure sensitive, which isn't in the Sony. The writing experience is worse than on the Remarkable, but Onyx has a bigger screen.

I'd recommend Remarkable if the screen size is good for you. The software is a lot more stable and the device is a lot more polished in general.
> I think continued progress in the wearable sensor field...

I'm interested in people's general experience with wearable sensors - of whichever type. I wear a Fitbit (mostly for sleep tracking) but it's mostly a curiosity rather than something that offers meaningful, actionable insights.

And I'm experimenting with deliberately tracking my metrics less in other areas. As a cyclist, it's easy to get sucked into the metrics world, with easy access to HR and power, training plans, and sharing your performances online... but I found I wasn't enjoying the activity of cycling very much. A friend hypothesised that the inherent comparison and competition might be to blame, and suggested to try removing most of the data tracking; it's early days yet though.

> ...is the best bet for improving human health.

I'd posit that avoidance of behaviours which are well-known to cause dierct harm to one's health is probably a better place to start.
Some uses of IT clearly bring "competitiveness". But this is a microeconomics concept, and while it happens, the macroeconomic "productivity" does not increase.

And yes, that difference is very hard to explain. One of the main sources of competitiveness (and the only that should be most clearly impacted by IT) is productivity.

Are measuring things wrong? Is there some other effect of IT that reduces the productivity to compensate? Is there something else happening that confusingly takes away all the gains from IT? (Perfectly correlated, for 50 years!?) Does plain logic break down due to some mechanism that nobody has found yet?

Nobody is certain about the answer, but theories abound.

you still need to agree on some things... For instance even if you're passing data through text, you have to agree on the actual encoding (Unix uses ascii, but there are lots of different text encodings!). You also have to agree on the meta-properties of the communication. How do programs find other programs to communicate with? How do they actually pass data to each other? How do they maintain transactional integrity (i.e. a request sometimes needs to be atomic, either happening or not happening, and the requesting program needs to know if a request happened!).
Yes, but a once society crossed that boundary then it will be on you and your lawyer to prove that it wasn't criminal negligence, just the regular old kind

Feudalists avoid liability by conscripting peasants and ordering them to fight their creditors' peasants, or handing out literal piracy (privateer) licenses, or steal money from monasteries after denouncing the Pope or accusing the specific holy order in question of practicing witchcraft.

RICO came after 159 years of US experience with all the benefits of limited liability and in the midst of the Cold War where the US was fighting for the freedom to keep government out of the way of business, so selecting that as your magic legal phrase is about as sensible as trying to fight Covid lockdown restrictions by putting a printout of Magna Carta in a shop window.

Certainly it is neither legally mandated nor very common. As the other commenter pointed out Volkswagen does this.

But to be honest if I am not at work my work phone is off/silent and away from my reach anyway, so I don't know if such a rule really would have any impact on me. But this is also because of the surrounding labor laws, which e.g. has mandated and enforced maximum work hours per day, etc.

I made a site that creates bucket list of places you come across on social media
I don’t know about you, but I’m very curious person and like exploring new places and experiencing new things (restaurants, cafes, outdoor spots etc.). It’s just that I’m very lazy about finding those places that won’t disappoint.

Most of the time, I source such places from content creators, friends on social media, but sadly enough almost all of the social media posts don’t have enough/limited information easily find those places. On the other hand, Instagram collections, Twitter bookmarks are horribly uncomfortable to manage those posts.

After some time, I found myself endlessly scrolling through Instagram/Twitter, saving posts, but then feeling frustrated because I have no idea how to actually find/experience those places. It's sort of been driving me crazy and I thought to put together this little project called Arvel Bucket List.

It’s absolutely free and easy to use. You share favorite posts with Arvel.app on Instagram/Twitter and it automatically creates personalized bucket list with all the info you need to find and experience awesome places.

Most people looking for a job are either already in one, or have several ongoing job applications, or both.

I have founded a company in Germany in 2004 and sold it to Google in 2011. I started an AG in Switzerland in 2019 and organized a Delaware-Flip therafter.

Most of the described steps are also necessary for a Delaware incorporation, and I found the process of incorporating a nothingburger.

1) The choice between a limited liability construct or a pass-through construct exists everywhere. My advice was always: Separate the biz from you personally, always use the non-pass-through option unless you really know what you're doing. Complexity and pain of a GmbH is identical to Delaware corp.

2) picking a new name that isn't in any dictionary is generally good advice, no matter what your jurisdiction is. We originally incorporated as SABRE Security, then years late got into a trademark dispute and had to change names. The fact that the Handelsregister can reject particularly poor names shouldn't be an obstacle.

3) I find getting riled up about the share capital a bit weird. I have never seen anyone struggle with that.

4) we can debate the utility of the notary public system in Germany, but this is hardly an obstacle.

5) Setting up a bank account with a GmbH iG in Germany is easy and quick with any of your local savings banks. These are non-profit banks with the explicit charter to help local businesses. Not sure what the author did wrong.

6/7/8) yes you need to pay in the share capital and prove you've done so, and get the reply from the Handelsregister.

9ff) yes you need tax and VAT IDs. Yes you need someone to do your books and taxes. True in Delaware, true in Germany, true in Switzerland.

All in all, the article reads super-whiny. I mean the author even complains that the notary uses your passport to authenticate you (?!).

I have been through a German GmbH, a Swiss AG, and a Delaware C-Corp with VCs, and I can tell you: The bureaucracy is pretty similar. And you will need help with taxes, accounting, legal compliance etc. And yes, it'd be nicer if all of this was simpler, fewer middlemen and lawyers involved, etc. - but this article paints things that are the absolute basics in any of the big jurisdictions as nefarious obstacles.
