It is just a very high rate if they could charge it, but that's the point: when the uncertainty is nil, the premium will always be the replacement cost when the replacement is about to happen, so that there's no insurance.

Put another way, if the insurance company isn't taking on any risk then you are.

There’s one theory that the Big Bang happened when that energy state changed. That change affected how all matter interacts with each other and a completely new configuration of the universe was born at the new speed of light.

And it could change again. We’d all be dead before we knew what was happening.

I would note that technically the small claims court in the UK does not set precedents. That would be the function of a higher court.
> The tough thing is, the developers in that area are happy to let all the buildings rot and fall over,

That's not how developers work.

Developers make money by, wait for it, developing.

Developers don't "buy and wait for rot". They don't buy until they're ready to develop or the cost+carrying is almost free, which is after someone else has let the rot happen.

Developers lose money holding. They buy as late as possible because undeveloped land/buildings are another word for "cash going out the door" and the cost of said assets is money that could have been spent on buying something to develop NOW.
Elon probably said on both occurrences that robotaxis and the 25k$ cars were priority #1.

Anyway it doesn't hurt -even if this is a lie- to say the cheap cars are coming. It sucks financial derisking off of competitors. To competition, Tesla doing a cheap car means no margin for a decade, if ever. Sometimes a little lie can go a long way for moat building.
Once spent a year building middleware to integrate money transfers with an ATM network. As we’re going to pilot, competitor buys the ATM network. End of project, thanks for your time. I have a couple more like that.
ask this questionnaire to a range of people, including some visual artists / designers:

close your eyes, think of a family member, who is it, where are they, what are they wearing, can you see details about the clothing, can you see details in the background, is there motion, if you open your eyes can you still see it

there will be some very strong yeses in there if you sample people in visual professions

What are the downsides with GrapheneOS? I had a few problems with root (Netflix and banking apps) but would love my privacy. My main reason for root is the firewall to block outgoing connections from apps that are not supposed to do it
That's why close servers are important.

Streaming the SKIA instructions will have the same latency issue as streaming pixels. Something changes on the server, and the change is propagated over the network. Even with DOM mirroring (notoriously buggy), changes need to be synced between remote and local.

Regarding latency and CloudTabs specifically: we have 7 regions right now and will put up an 8th in Canada (Canada's second, why so popular there, idk).

Our latency is good. Responsive, below a perceptible level. For interactive real-time streaming video it's good.

Are you experiencing issues? Do you mind me asking what region you connected to?
Maybe the rise in the prices of new cars, used parts, and labor has an impact.
Those examples are silly. And it may be literally training in the sense that beating a puppy is training it, but lobotomisation captures a specific meaning that training doesn't. I am hearing that you do not have a better suggestion, so I will keep using the word.

“Custom low volume components” is a marketing strategy. They could sell them to competitors and make money off the components. Late in its history SGI owned MIPS and sold their hardware to others. I have a WindowsCE laptop running on a MIPS R4000 processor. Runs NetBSD with effort, but with dignity.
Well technically you were paying for their obligation to pay for you. Which is a real thing of value.
It would take me an hour and a half to get to work via mass transit vs the half hour it takes me now in a major city. It’s 9 miles. Mass transit just isn’t compatible with most American cities.

Would you think differently if the application does not model the individual user but rather treats them as completely anonymous? Like, the main interest is in stuff like: "a person that ended up buying product X was previous looking at the products on shelf Y for 23.4 seconds on average".

Just curious, I'm not in favor of such applications but I am interested in what privacy aspects are important to people.

I find that privacy is often held as a very high deed when considered on its own right out of any context. But in reality, people are happy to use cash reward cards or pay everything with credit card when they go shopping, or use gmail, or walk around all day with a smart phone in their pocket, etc. (Disclaimer: I do some of these things myself.)

I mean the actual Model 3 costs roughly the same as the Prius Prime. A 25k EV would look closer to something like the Nissan leaf or the Chevy volt with about 150-200 miles of range instead of 300+ and generally worse build quality.

Yes, I am still on my beloved OnePlus 6 running Lineage and had been looking around for a used 7 or 8 for 5G capability (I'm a bit sketched out by the overall throttling hoopla of 9th gen). Perhaps it's time to expand the search beyond OnePlus.
People get upset that someone “broke” their dependency. But with FOSS, that’s impossible, since you still have the code you relied on, right? What they did is release a new piece of code, called a new “version”, and you made some bad assumptions that are not just founded in any contract, but are actively rejected by the contract (“software is provided as is” clause).
Just because your mass transit sucks doesn't mean some form of mass transit wouldn't work. Imagine a train doing that route every 5 minutes, for example. That's the reality in many cities around the world.
Good point. Focus on the customer. Didn't see that aspect.

Idk how any of us survived the 90s with trampolines in constant use! We would jump off them into pools, jump onto them from the roof, double bounce each other half a dozen feet in the air. I even mastered the “art” of jumping off of it and landing on the ground (from 6 feet up), rolling and popping back up.
Why not? Google's only been a powerhouse for the last decade or so.
From the README:

Open-source software, despite being shared critical infrastructure, is maintained by volunteers or by full-time company employees. Neither is a sustainable model, the former for obvious reasons, and the latter because available resources at a single company do not scale with the size and success of the project, leading whole teams to burnout and churn.

I am testing a new model: professional independent full-time maintainers, who bill companies as contractors, providing ongoing maintenance and access to their expertise and to the project’s decision-making process.

I envision open source maintainer as a first-class profession, with independent maintainers organized in personal practices or small and medium-sized firms, earning compensation comparable to what senior software engineers are paid. I want maintainers to be empowered to keep doing what they do best, and be available as a resource to the companies that fund them.

I believe the best way to precipitate this change is to prove the model myself, and I plan to build the missing tools (legal contracts, best practices, professional associations…) and grow the model by example and by employing others.

It becomes very obvious when you start to analyze along economic lines instead of intersectional ones

A white woman growing up poor in a trailer park and a black woman growing up poor in the inner city are more likely to have similar struggles than the poor black woman and an upper middle class black woman

The upper middle class black woman is the one who is the token representation in a professional setting. She imagines her struggles represent the struggles of the poor black woman, but they don't

She probably did struggle more than her upper class white female colleagues, but her struggles were almost certainly very different from poor black women's struggles

So we wind up chasing our tails with these DEI initiatives, when the problems they claim to solve aren't about race diversity really. They're about class. You can't solve class problems by treating them as race problems
I've always found it interesting how PID system theory and especially tuning seems so empirical, especially in how it's taught.

We deal with similar kinds of feedback systems all the time in integrated circuit design (see: Phase Locked Loops), but they're evaluated theoretically, and by extension, I think, more rigorously. I'm sure this is largely due to the fact that what we're controlling has very well-defined, well-understood, and simple behavior, where "PID" controllers are often used in far more complex, multi-part systems like motor/speed control, temperature, etc.

And while I think there's a lot of value in developing that kind of intuition, I've run into a handful of junior engineers at my company who don't deeply understand what's happening in the system and draw incorrect conclusions or make dangerous decisions.

As one example, I saw a presentation showing an oscillation at the output of a tuning system when the sensing element was moved further away from the controller. with changing amplitude based on what the sampling rate was. The engineer had no idea why this was the case - moving the sensor away was introducing a distributed, continuous-time pole into the system, whose location in the discrete time, sampled system was moving with sample rate, and changing the feedback systems phase margin based on its proximity to the other discrete poles/zeros from the PID. Even worse, he didn't realize that in the extreme, the system could go completely unstable with in bounded oscillation!
A lot of the zenphone series had bootloader unlock as a listed feature which was then removed when they disabled and took down the tool. The Zenfone 10 was advertised as going to have the feature as well before and even after the launch for a bit. Asus claimed that the tool was coming at several points but the date in their promises kept getting pushed back and eventually turned into we don't know and now it appears to be never. This is stuff that was in writing from them, search it up, but you'll need to check the Internet archive for the info that they've removed from their own sites (like the repeated pushing and cancelling of the return of the unlock tool)
Do you use a banking app? Last I read depending on the type of check used some apps can still be problematic.

How can you possibly say both things in the same article?
Not a fact. It's typical to have debug and release builds, and possibly other flavors.

Of course sometimes all you have is a stack trace from a release build, and then you need to debug that. But if you can, debug the debug build, it's much easier.
I'd worked in Sun Microsystems last 3 years before acquisition by Oracle.

We've used version control system based on SCCS. Like CVS is based on RCS format, this was based on SCCS.

But it was distributed! Only way to clone repo or push or pill was direct file system access (so, NFS was used, of course), without any protocol over HTTP, SSH or TCP.

It was very cumbersome and difficult to understand & master. I could say, it was more complicated than git, because it felt alien. I don't know why and cannot pinpoint reasons for it.

It had generator for web reviews (like modern pull reviews), but again, generator produced static HTMLs with different diffs, and you need some place to host them and they were non-interactive, nothing like in-line comments and such.

At the very end, right before acquisition, we converted repos to Mercurial, but tools for web reviews was ported to hg with exactly same output. And then I left Sun, errr, now Oracle.
I do as well and it's similar random stuff. I guess I'm not a heavy "liker" of posts so maybe that screws up the algo.

I used to be a heavy Facebook user though and in spite of them having loads of data about me and my interests, the ads were crap.
I think you totally missed the point of GP. Like, yes, that's exactly why we need to invest in better transit， because that experience you shared shouldn't happen.
I had the same reaction you did, so I looked up the state university budget breakdown [1] for my home state of Florida. In 2021-2022, the most recent year for which they have final numbers, 35.6% of expenditures went to "E&G". That's "Education & General", which according to them is defined as:

"The Education and General budget funds the general instruction, research, and public service operations of the universities. A large portion of the system’s 2022-2023 beginning fund balance reserves ($420.8 million) is dedicated to meeting the 7% reserve requirement set forth in Section 1011.45(1) of the Florida Statutes. Additionally, millions of dollars have been reserved by the SUS to cover the costs associated with the hiring of faculty, maintenance of facilities and equipment, the maintenance of each university’s financial software system, various research enhancement programs and initiatives, and the potential for budget reduction shortfalls."

So this includes both the "actual teaching" and research and other related spending.

We can get more information on page 45, which provides a breakdown of that 35%: 61% of it (~22% of total) is "instruction and research", i.e., at most 22% of the total budget (and probably much less, since FL's public university sector is fairly research-heavy) is spent directly on instruction.

That's probably a little unfair, since instruction needs things like facilities and other admin expenses even in a system that isn't bloated, but the previous poster's 25% number passes a sanity check at least to my eye.

In case you're wondering, the other two big categories of expenses are C&G ("contracts and grants" - so more research expenditures mostly) and "local funds" (a weird mix that includes things like student activities, athletics, and financial aid).

I slowly realized I have aphantasia by reading an HN comment about it last December. That day I started asking my daughter questions about visualizing things and daydreams and she ended up giving me a perfect description of aphantasia with minimal prompting. It's very interesting to have gone through life not realizing I have this difference. A few people I asked the same questions of who do not seem to have aphantasia thought the topic was a little crazy, as if it's weird to perceive this way.

I tend to process a lot of things through sound, and go around the world recognizing people by voice or unwillingly trying to place people's accents when they talk. I think it might be related somehow.
When they kill Windows 10 support and the newest Windows is still garbage, I'll switch to Linux. Most apps are compatible with Linux anyway, and these that aren't can be run within a VM, or I can have dual-boot, or whatever. I don't want my computer to be actively fighting against my comfort.

Some rocks absorb CO2 as they weather. Also, rocks provide minerals to fields which provide extra benefit.

Greenland with melted glaciers aren’t the only option. Olivine is rock that absorbs CO2 in seawater. We could grind and dump gigatons of it, and it is more accessible.

No, culture does not eat strategy for breakfast.

1) Only living beings can be said to “eat”. Sometimes, the word “eat” can be used within a metaphor, such as “The garbage truck ate that man’s garbage.” But this generally is used when an inanimate object is somehow seen as “consuming “ another object. In the case of ideas, it does not make sense for an idea to consume another one. Thus, culture cannot eat anything.

2) Strategy cannot be “anything” for breakfast, let alone eaten. “To be had for breakfast” implies a state transition, at which time after breakfast, the object is in a new state. For example, a bunwich may be “had” over breakfast, after which, it moves to the state of “being digested” by the consumer. Strategy may be “discussed over” breakfast, but it’s state ultimately doesn’t change. Therefore, strategy cannot be “had” nor “eaten” over breakfast.
Nice idea for helping convince! I too am for the functional stuff; I use a tension rod (like used for shower curtains sometimes) between cupboards, over the kitchen sink to hang S hooks off, and let a significant number of pots and pans hang to dry after washing.
Glad to see someone else make that observation

Misdiagnosing these things just because of a disproportionate impact to a marginalized group has limited efficacy because it relies on indicting the hearts and minds of people that don’t feel or think in the imagined way to begin with. So yeah these initiatives wind up going in circles, and losing support of would be allies because it’s based on demonizing them hoping they continually atone for something ambiguous.

And even in your example, this is a good highlight, some upper middle class black people try to distance themselves from other black people based on dialect but specifically talking down on vernacular English.

if you know what you’re looking at the same occurs with some of our Indian population such that Seattle got that anti caste discrimination law passed specifically to point out that we’re not going to accept the rampant denial of India’s problems replicated in the US

the only reason this stuff flies is because the self proclaimed progressive people aren't listening or understanding the people they want to include. they're performing rituals for each other. they’re unwilling to see their own efforts as unproductive or even counterproductive as they're too busy distancing themselves from apathetic people and overtly exclusionary people.

just listen to the affected groups, heavily scrutinize if someone’s comfort is at the expense of someone else’s, such as “why are we privileging theirs” and if the reason is sexist or racial then you’ve found a flaw in the entire logic from the so called progressive, which you can use as leverage against them in their own performative circles
