From a structural engineering point of view, this is because of the extra 1G of force keeping the rows together, but nothing keeps the columns together.

Since bricks have some tensile strength, but mortar (the 'glue' between rows and columns) has ~none, that means that, if you must have lines of weakness, you would prefer they be horizontal than vertical.

"Currently EU is also the #1 destination for illegal migrants and refugees. How many americans come to EU is meaningless. The net economic and strategic contributions of the ones who are leaving EU for USA vs vice versa is much more important."

You can easily assume that legal emigration is mostly for high qualified labours (illegal US emigration is a None - Issue) so yes the economic and strategic contributions are important.

But given your missing claims I guess I opt out of the discussion.

> KYC is in no way any kind of problem that needs to be fixed, it's a necessary and Actually Good feature of any sufficiently broad financial system.

I disagree with this because it breaks the notion of innocent until proven guilty that is the cornerstone of a fair justice system. If the bank has any suspicions about where you get your bags of money that you deposit daily, they can inform the police and the police, without questioning you about where you get your money from, must prove that you are doing something illegal.

KYC and all other legislation of the same kind put the burden of proof on you to prove you're a good citizen. And this is wrong on so many levels.

Not to mention local talent and experience pools, which are what almost everyone overlooks when they talk about a "new silicon valley" popping up someplace else, be that Berlin or London or whatever.

The Nexus devices were initially badly designed high end devices, starting with the Nexus One, which was among the first smartphones with an OLED screen but had too little internal storage to be useful. There was no intentional strategy there to build a bad product, just bad product designers making bad design choices.

That statement is PR bullshit, I expected better from Waymo. Nobody fell, so it misidentified the situation. And there was nothing careful about the overtake maneuver here, there was no safe place to end the maneuver in sight.

These kinds of mistakes will very likely happen with self-driving cars, the important part is to address them and improve the cars. I don't expect the cars to be flawless from the start (I do expect some fundamental safety mechanisms to work reliably from the start like the automatic braking before obstacles). Downplaying the issue here is a bad look for Waymo.
It's not that bad:

(require 'uiop)
(defun c ()
(uiop:run-program '("emacs" "-nw" "file.lisp")
:output :interactive
:input :interactive))

EDIT: note that SBCL comes with UIOP included by default, but if you want to use SBCL's implementation-specific facility, it's only slightly different:

(defun c ()
(sb-ext:run-program "/usr/bin/emacs"
'("-nw" "file.lisp")
:input t
:output t))
This is one of the most unhinged take I've ever read on libraries. Respectfully, it looks like you have never understood what libraries really are. At least here, in Italy, a library organizes events such as photography shows, local artists exhibits, and sometimes hosts voluntary activities (people here might know things such as corderdojo ecc...)

The discoverability of new books is excellent, librarians routinely make a selection of books on some topics, it may be a generic one "history", specific one "important people in history" which are way better than any other system that tries to recommend me books

Last, but not least, libraries are on of the few remaining places "for the people, by the people". You're not expected to pay anything, you can walk in any, take a book, read it, sit down and relax. It's also a place where a lot of students can go to study in silence, I can't think of many other places which offer a similar quietitude.

It would be a disservice to reduce libraries to "places where you can read Taylor swift books" (not that there's anything wrong with reading Taylor swift or Spare), losing libraries would mean loosing one of the remaining "third places" we have in our always more disconnect society

I have been working with node for a couple of years now, not my choice but it isn’t tragic. This team uses TypeScript,

I honestly don’t get the problem TypeScript is trying to solve. JavaScript has lots of wacky problems but its main advantage to me was the loosy goosy approach to types. I was a smalltalk programmer back in the 1990s and it felt pretty comfortable if very primitive in the way of tools.

Typescript just seems unnecessary. Not sure why nobody built something like reentrent exceptions or cool stuff like that, instead they built a stupid jail that down compiles to unreadable sludge.

Now I find out there were competing jails. What a strange ecosystem.
In general, I don't think human sucks at driving, but there are many times when any driver can be extremely dangerous for many reasons.

Many of those reasons are illegal (alcohol, fiddling with your phone) so it's not a question of fairness an automated program was supposed to be better than that.

I don't see anything unfair in requiring that automated driving which is supposed to not be afflicted from our human failing to not perform illegal and dangerous driving ...

Especially since autonomous driving might bring more car not less (similar to Uber and Lift impact https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-020-00678-z#Sec8 )
> > [Rich & powerful assholes often maintain their status by unethical means.]

> This is conspiracy level thinking.

The prevalence of assholes is a documented thing (latest numbers I've heard was over 6% of clinical narcissists, reportedly a very conservative lower bound), and who would ever be surprised that high-status people like being high-status?

I don't know about libraries specifically, but the idea that rich assholes would like to keep the education level of the general population below a threatening threshold is not conspiracy thinking to me, it's just obvious.

I am of course not denying the existence of nice rich people. Though I'm afraid they tend to be selected out of ludicrous wealth. In fact, I fully expect to find many more assholes among super-rich people than I would among the general population. (But I'm not sure either: the strife we find among some of the poorest people also tend to generate assholes…)

This is also the reason why I avoid using analogies when making an argument. Usually, instead of talking about the argument itself we end up discussing under what circumstances the analogy works and when it doesn't.
If this is actually what happened, then regardless of the consequences, it would challenge the notion that human supervisors provide adequate protection of the public while these cars are being tested.
By that I think he meant to differentiate Hegel from TypeScript as Hegel being strict, as opposed to TypeScript being what is often described as gradually typed
From what I can tell, the rules of masonry layout result in irregular sorting since, from what I can understand, it fills by row the highest available slot first, but the result visually appears as though it's sorted in columns. So if you resize your window, the order of your bookmarks would change.

You're overlooking the fact that a huge majority of tech workers are not originally from the SV area. The US is a huge immigration destination, especially in tech, whereas Japan is a nearly impossible place to move to, not least of all because of immigration laws.
And that's why Meta will fail. The company doesn't have the branding or the technical imagination to create either a mass-appeal or a high-end prestige product. Apple has both, and its best VR effort appeals to a few thousand people.

As long as VR is limited to facehuggers the market will remain niche. VR glasses are a good few years (decades?) off.

In the meantime Apple will eat the high end and probably some of the low end.

So where does that leave Meta?

It doesn't help that Meta is more of an annoyance than brand. I'm not sure anyone actually likes Meta or Meta's products. While they're tolerated to some extent, they're perceived as fundamentally boring or irritating in a way that is deadly for brands.
For starters, I think the author should take this all as a resounding success. I'm sure they learned a lot - technical and othewise - from the project, and that's always worth it. I don't believe the only two options are massive viral hit or failure.

But I don't think I agree with the authors conclusions that there's less interest in type safety or strict type checking. I suspect the author finds Typescript too leanient (there's plenty of ways to trigger Typescript's unsoundness) for their liking, but I do think there is an overall trend to use Typescript to design and build more reliable software.

The problem with these self-driving companies is that they drive a lot more miles than a human ever could. Even if their error rates were 1/10th of the most cautious human drivers, if we held them to the same standards as we hold humans, they'd lose their licenses in a week. This is due to the sheer number of cars they have and miles they drive.

This is a variation on the trolley problem. Would you rather have roads that are 10 times safer, with 10 times fewer accidents and 10 times fewer deaths, but where the accidents are completely unexplainable and where nobody can be held guilty, or would you rather have the world stay as it is?

Interestingly, the first printed German bible translation appeared in 1466 by Mentelin[1,2], only 11 years after Gutenberg's Latin bible. Luther's[3] and Tyndale's[4] influential translations only happened 50-60 years after that.

More likely customers would report that it's "not working properly".

Yes, the technically correct phrase is "below median" --- but a lot of people don't understand the difference so why bother?
I agree. I’m reading this (and now typing this reply) from the Vision Pro, while doing a 2-hour low-and-medium-intensity cardio workout on my elliptical trainer. Hard to overstate how much better this is than the old MBP/iPad plus big-screen TV setup I had.

I would also buy another AVP immediately, if I broke this, or if a better one came out,

But that is… extremely niche. The OS is as bad as iOS 1.0 was — but without the obvious utility to a huge number of people. I’m not sure Apple can pull this off.

But, I have all the Meta headsets, too, and have used them for this purpose. That gives me the perspective to understand that, while on one hand it is indeed “just another VR headset”, there has never been one actually usable for this before. Apple has the lead along a dew different axes. The question is, do they have the stomach to lose money on it for 10 years like Meta has>

(Even if they don’t literally sell it below cost, like Meta, it won’t work out if they don’t keep iterating as hard as they can on the software side. Like the first iPhone, it is simultaneously amazing, unprecedented, and objectively awful in many ways.)

P.S.

>My understanding is that this is where Buffett falls short. Or - probably a better way of putting it - this is where "value to the economy" takes on a different meaning to "for the good of society".

I guess it's pretty debatable. Insurance companies for example don't inherently do something and certainly have lots of controversy. So you could easily argue they arent good for society. But at the same time, they do exist and do very well and lots of people make use.

>The main reason investers like Buffett look for monopolies is that they don't have to innovate or improve efficiency. If anything, the general tendency is for prices to go up while quality goes down. This is all done in the name of "good business". The result is that consumers lose out.

Looking at the top 11, where he holds 10% stake or more. None of these are monopolistic.

Looking at % of profile. He's obviously a huge apple fan, 40% of his portfolio, but apple isn't monopolistic. They have maybe 25% market share in any of their fields. They are very low amounts of vertical since they outsource manufacturing.
This is a thought terminating cliche.

At the start of WWII almost everyone was worried about the old dangers and hiding behind battle lines on a map, only to be flattened by high speed mechanized warfare.

It's still way easier to handle it when you know where it will break(even it is far way from you) instead of just let it break everywhere. Make it just explode and fix it is still much better than a unknown bug that you never know if it is fixed haunting you forever.

Rust for example. Enforce the invariant everywhere. It's probably harder to build, but it is also easier to find out where and why it won't instead of have infinite memory safety problems everywhere.

And about implicit invariant? Probably a simple code change can fix it, a test would cover it, or an assertion. Or you need a whole new language to describe and test it safely(like rust) because the one you are using just can't. People are not even close to find out the answer of this problem, but the direction is to make it explicit.
Get better, then you won't have to redo any of them ;-)

Bit blurry role but let’s call it Accounting in PE / private credit world at a large asset manager.

There isn’t a huge amount of accessible data in the private small co space though so there isn’t anything to quant. It’s all bespoke small data stuff.

The inane and utterly incomprehensible toolset that they happen to be more familiar with, obviously. Some people take their ball and go home after they can’t work out how to centre a div, after decades of having “HTML and CSS are for the ‘stupid’ developers” drilled into them, and thinking that they can intuit it.

The JVM can actually perform this optimization optimistically and can undo it if the assumption is violated at runtime. So Java's 'everything is virtual by default' approach doesn't hurt. Of course relying an a sufficiently smart JIT comes with its own trade-offs.
Don't know even by low human standard it's bad.

I would not expect a human to drive two blocks while failing to go back to the correct lane; I would expect him to realize after 50m that there are too many and slow down and go back behind the uni cycle.
In the same way I do not expect a human driver to stop after hitting someone then start again and drag the body with it.

The problem is that it's easy to pump the statistic while driving miles without issue then it utterly fails when the situation is not well-defined anymore.
What you’re describing is the organic growth of a platform. The web is undeniably more complex than it was twenty years ago but needs are more complex too. Yes, the complexity does benefit major players but that isn’t the reason the complexity exists.

It’s ironic you’re saying that CSS is some form of vendor lock in. I have to imagine that if Google proposed a new layout engine for the web tomorrow they’d be roasted to kingdom come for their attempt at taking over the web.

Nothing that a transform(90deg) cannot solve :-).

More seriously, what you describe is quite doable with flexbox (flex-direction: row, flex-wrap: wrap and flex-grow: 1).

Interestingly, even the Masonry layout was already doable using a simple multi-column layout, the "only" issue is that instead of having the items left-to-right, top-to-bottom (ordered by row) you have them top-to-bottom, left-to-right (ordered by column) which is not what you want most of the times
