I have a response to what was the original top comment but now got displaced[0].

In short:

1) If you trivialize any technology nothing is new. Advances happen (mostly) by small steps, not leaps and bounds. According to the article it is more efficient. Seems like a win. Even if it isn't huge or crazy different. Is the lack of novelty because of: their tech? Our understanding of the tech? Something else? Who cares? If it is different it is different.

2) So what if it isn't (very) new? According to that wiki article that engine is made by one group. So even if its novelty is simply different enough to bypass a patent or in house knowledge, so what? More competition is good. What's the point here? We love monopolies? Only one company can make one type of thing? Type being at the abstract level, not detailed?

I'm not sure how either of these is helpful. Maybe you're saying something else, but it isn't clear to me.

This is a good example of what Lisp brings to Emacs. Here we augment an existing function with new functionality.

When people say "I am gonna rewrite Emacs in Lua because parens scare people away" completely miss the point.

How many very early startups have you joined?

The language you use to describe option grants suggests you haven't. A startup does not "sell shares" "ridiculously cheaply". They grant options and the valuation is what it is at the moment.

Here's an article that might help:

Was worth a shot asking :) thanks for the info! Fingers crossed it may happen someday.
It interesting that they compile into the UCSD P-Code.

Arguably, why not. It’s specifically designed to execute Pascal. Why reinvent the wheel.

One of the most interesting p-code instructions is LOD. This get the value of a local variable. The trick is that it takes two arguments. One them is simply the offset to the variable. The other, however, is from which procedure environment.

Pascal supports nested procedures. And because of that, within each nested procedure, they have access to all of the local variables in scope. So in order to access a parent local variable, the engine has to walk the stack references to the parent scope.

This walk is a first class concept in the p-code. It’s not just simple primitives like CPU. Most are, but much of the meat are the very architecture specific operations.

Similarly, calling procedures work hand in hand with the segment concept built into the system. A segment is much like a library. A collection of procedures, with an offset table for routing.

Much of this segment concept was pretty much lifted wholesale by the original Mac OS, as well as the Apple II GS. It’s a strikingly powerful system lurking within a pretty simple OS.

The yield curve is inverted so short term treasuries are great right now. There’s little reason to have a typical savings or money market account or even a money market / bill fund when you can just put together a 3 month treasury ladder and get 5.25+%.

Longer term treasury bonds don’t seem so smart given the threat of sustained inflation. If you’re looking for longer term fixed income, maybe TIPS or Series I bonds are a good choice. I bond rates aren’t as great as they were a few years ago, but until end of this month you can take advantage of 5.27%, including a fixed rate component of 1.30% which is a 17 year high. You‘ve got a bond that will beat inflation by 1+% for 30 years. Not too bad.

> Also, tell the family they just have “bad luck”.

It's not wrong, though.

The Earth's surface is slightly over 500 million km².

Let's say that something landing within a 10m radius of you represents a hit. That radius is about 314 m², or
0,000314 km²

If my math doesn't fail me, if we partition the globe into discrete areas equivalent to that 10m radius, the odds of something landing on your area would be around 1 in 10^12.
That's absolutely true.

And it's also true that most Americans don't work at large corporations and that most companies are not large.

FYI I probably won't be able to answer much since dang limited my account after I took offense at people who think my country shouldn't exist. But I'll bite.

Israel isn't remotely close to stretching its forces. The army is actually pushing hard for retaliation and most forces from Gaza are already at home by now. There's an importance of "perceived power" in this region. It's crucial to Israeli survival that it appears powerful.

This is also a much "easier" war for Israel as it can fight against a "normal" army. The Hezbolla and Hamas are problematic as they aren't official armies (although they do have battalions and structures), they hide in civilian populations and make combat difficult. Hamas never brought the army remotely close to its limits; during the entire campaign in Gaza many of the people drafted were actually up north waiting for Hezbolla.

Houthi missiles are just stupid, Yemen is too far away. The problem is the costs of far east goods that results from the blockade. But that's mostly an annoyance.

All three of these fronts (and Syrian sourced attacks) are really from one source: Iran. They have been pulling the strings as part of an ongoing shadow war. Some believe it would be best to attack the head of the snake.

All of the problems Israel is experiencing with its allies are the main reason it didn't retaliate (at least not yet).
> One can train to be 'bulky' to compete in bodybuilding competitions but not be as strong as someone who trains to be strong for powerlifting competitions, yet both have 'built muscle'.

What’s often missing from this point is that the strength of power lifters comes from technique and CNS adaptation. They train to be strong at just three specific movements. Any pro bodybuilder who refocused their efforts into powerlifting would quite quickly be putting up impressive numbers.
> The second key invention was a ‘heading up’, moving map display. This meant that the vehicle remained at the center of the screen and the map moved and turned under the vehicle. What you saw ahead of you in the windshield was what was displayed on the screen. This proved highly intuitive.

Later on they talk about "heads up" map digitizing, did this mean the map rotated as the operator digitized the street? Seems quite unwieldy (and how did the poor PC rotate raster graphics?)
That's a somewhat narrow definition of economic productivity. You need to be including things from retail to infrastructure maintenance to entertainment venues in that definition. There are still plenty of things that require physical proximity.

Density is very much still a function of economic productivity.
Nothing prevents, in principle, a long lived HTTP connection where the server only replies once the response is available (long polling). However, on the real internet, such long lived connections just don't work, for a large minority of users. There are numerous devices, typically close to the client, which kill "idle" connections. NAT gateways and stateful firewalls are some of the most common culprits.

So, you just can't rely on your customers being able to keep around a long connection.

Not to mention the numerous corporate environments in which it is hard to even open an outgoing connection which is not HTTPS or a handful of other known protocols.

One samsung phone I had problems per software in getting a gps lock in it's last years of use.

Fancier software would sit there forever trying to get lock, but more primitive one's could get a lock and after that the fancier ones could as well.

This meant I got to "boot" the lock by hamgps first and then I could switch to maps and other software.
How do you have the discipline to put things back where they should be?
Because we already keep all the computers, the network and payment processing anyway.

Like 99% of physical payments are already involves computers anyway, even if it is done with a paper/plastic note.

So it's not "replace notes with computers" but "get rid of notes because computers are there anyway".

Anecdote: I don't have a card linked to Uber, so I pay with a cash or a C2C transfer.
In the last two years if I ask the driver if they prefer cash or C2C they consistently prefer C2C - because it's way less hassle for them and also they often claim they are short on change.

And in the another anecdote I still carry cash on me but I use it only for a taxi rides and a one local smallware shop, so they wouldn't need to pay the processing fee for the 50c things.
Hellbender on PC was a good one too
It was so much more than just a cash/property grab. It was also an accidental ideology hack to plaster over the unsolvable conflict between working class and capitalism.

Short reminder that by name, it was a socialist workers' party. But a socialist workers' party fooling themselves into believing that all strife of the working class could somehow be blamed on the subset of capitalists who happened to be Jews. And by doing so, they offered capitalists who were not a lifeboat to survive the upcoming revolution, survive with all their status and wealth, or more even. A revolution was coming, and they would rather have it brown than red. Many of the moneyed class despised Nazis as the uneducated roughlings that they were, but begrudgingly accepted them as lesser evil compared to red socialists. Before, in almost all cases I guess, eventually getting pulled in by all the cheering. It may sound absurd to us, but Nazism ran on positivity. "Be part of it, it will be awesome" (unless of course you happen to be one of those we need as common enemies to unite against, please be a good victim and just shut up while we remove you from existence. Don't worry, we'll find a substitute for you to push out next when you're gone)

Without antisemitism to distract the working class, nazism would have never grown beyond a group of sad drinking buddies with bad pick-up lines. The cash/property grab happened much later, about a decade after antisemitism enabled the unlikely alliance of (some) capitalists and (some) workers that carried them into power.
This distinction feels mostly a metaphoric and superficial difference in practice if the iOS home screen is considered a zooming UI because of how it visually presents things. Interfacing-wise it doesn't feel like a significant difference if I consider the app switcher as an infinitely pannable canvas of apps I zoom into, or a stack of apps I scroll through and then open.

It feels to me, instead of exploring different interfacing experiences in terms of zooming/non-zooming it might be more useful to think along the lines of structured/unstructured, contained/uncontained, or gestures/buttons for example.
It's not the difference between an n-bit random number and an n-bit modulus. It's the difference between a 512-bit random number and a 521-bit random number. It's very simple, but wording it as number vs. modulus is needlessly confusing, just adding to the problem you are bemoaning.

One thing which isn't discussed enough is how bad the Tsunami is environmentally. The coastline of Japan is absolutely littered with crap from the 2011 Tsunami. All manner of chemicals were sucked into the nearby sea, tires, carpets, hard and soft plastics, absolutely everywhere. It almost looks unrecoverable.

I know that seems like a non-issue in the grand scale of things, but Tsunami's of the past didn't do this. Most pollution was biodegradable.

I can't imagine what the coast of LA would look like after a similar event :(

No there aren't. They would also need grenades and RPG warheads, which aren't readily available.
A very long time ago (~1996-1997) I worked for a company in Sunnyvale called Vicinity which made mapblast, a website now so lost to time that google will assume you are typoing mapquest if you search for it. The company was eventually sold (well after I had left) to Microsoft and became part of MSN I believe.

The tech behind mapblast also powered the first version of Yahoo Maps, which was a pretty big deal at the time (this was before Google Maps eventually came in and overshadowed everyone else in that market).

I was in my early 20s and working for one of my first tech startups at the time but Vicinity was primarily made up of graybeards who had previously worked for Etak (who was the primary map data provider for the online mapping system we made, so they had a lot of experience with it) and many of those people were also ex-Atari prior to Etak.

hell, the whole practice of rights holders choosing to stop distributing media that could be distributed by fans at very low cost -- like the Disney vault or the recent fiasco with Coyote vs ACME -- is an affront to art preservation and to art and to creatives and society in general and should be stopped.

We know Australia was already occupied at least 40kya, and maybe 60kya, and they can only have got there by sailing out of sight of land, even when sea levels were at their lowest (~400ft below current level). Neanderthals were on all east Mediterranean islands except Cyprus ~200kya. (Cyprus is not visible from the mainland or other islands closer to land.) They had to have used boats, although they did not need to navigate.

We have reliable evidence of people in North America 37kya, at the Hartley mammoth butchery site, perhaps from the same rootstock as the Australians. Curiously, they lacked the fancy stone tool industry the Siberians brought in much, much later, which might trace all the way back to Europeans 20kya. Apparently there are plenty of other mammoth sites not excavated because they are dated "too old" to involve people. It took Tim Rowe, a decorated paleontologist whose land it was was found on, to get that one dug up properly. Still it seems like no one will talk about it.

The millennium of 12,000 years ago was also when Gobekli Tepe and related sites were constructed, right at the sudden end of the Younger Dryas cold spell. Maybe innovation was newly acceptable in response to the fast-changing climate.

No, actually the Holocaust, meaning the actual mass killing of Jews, didn't start until 1941, about the time Hitler attacked Russia.

Not to say Hitler hadn't already gotten away with plenty of ugly things by the time he attacked Poland. But the Holocaust wasn't one of them at that time.
