Of course the physical world is. People go to starbucks or any other brand to chat because they must go to a commercial place. If they don't want to, their only chance is to go outside. There are no indoor places where it is not expected of you to consume, to buy something. Long are gone the days where you could just gather somewhere in a public place and just do nothing, or have your tea while someone else sews their pants, or whatever. It's all commercial now, buy or stay home.

We've been overrun by capitalism for so long and so many of our interactions that we can't see it anymore.

In one way it’s only fair to pay him what he was owed. The package was a way to incentivize him to get the stock price up and meet revenue goals. He hit every of the goals but one. The board failed the company in structuring a proper pay package and there was an element of luck where the stock just exploded in value.
To me, Obsidian is a perfect example of how to get SaaS-revenue without making the user captive: All data is stored in an accessible form on the user hardware, and what you pay for is sync.

The New York Times makes most of its money from ads.

Netflix is a good contradiction that you have provided. I'm wondering how they were able to solve the volume issue without offering their service for free.

My current theory is that, since they transitioned from being a movie rental business:
1. they already had a lot of content for new customers to pay for.
2. they already had a paying audience that was big enough for creators to care about.

^ This might not be a reproducible scenario for most products and businesses.
It's not about raw clock speed, or a Zen 4 would be as fast as a Pentium 4 :)
The irony is, there are plenty of products and brands that absolutely would like to sell to the MAGA crowd, but you would not expect electric cars to be one of them, especially as their presidential candidate announced that he would ban them.
I’m entirely unsurprised.

The deal was clear, the milestones were very high and it was done at a point in time when everyone expected Tesla was going to go bankrupt.

He basically got 10% of the increased value of Tesla. He created $450B in value, and got $45B.

Plus he can’t sell for 5 years.

That isn't quite the usual idea of "Not In My BackYard". The observation there was that people opposed the development of beneficial things near themselves.

You're opposing the development of a detrimental thing near yourself. Sure, it's worse when it's closer to you, but an ephemeral housing lot for vagrants makes everyone worse off no matter where it gets built.

Unless you're saying you'd support it if it was built a few blocks over?
I would argue with your definition of hallucination here. It's just a value judgement we humans apply to output that does not correspond to reality in some way that we don't find useful.

We can control how diverse or creative output is via temperature. I am assuming that these new models could work at higher temperatures (i.e. more creative) while maintaining factual accuracy for things you care about. Or alternatively, keep the same temperature but have far fewer hallucinations (i.e. wrong answers).

You could try the manifest data, (the data for the PWA app) tied more to the html and dns. Making it harder to impersonate other sites.

The whole point of hooks is to substantially simplify "effects stuff", as compared to the total uncomposability of class components.

While the specific implementation of hooks has its bugbears, I think it's pretty telling that nobody else is using class components either, even in projects with fundamentally different engines like Svelte.
Fair enough. And I'm glad you did, because it turned what was a
sardonic throwaway comment by myself - "Oh they like burning
skyscrapers not bridges" - into some real reflection, for a few of us,
me included, researching and thinking a bit more deeply about it.

9/11 is a turning point in world history. Even today, much of what's
going on in the digital world around cybersecurity, digital rights and
software design is reverberating from what happened two decades ago. I
have people close to me still living with the PTSD.

I think for some of the current generation who cannot directly
remember it but live in the shadow, it's what WW2 was to mine.

For them it's important to keep clarity, and not give in to myths,
convenient narratives and conspiracy theories. And that takes constant
courage.

Looking back at it, it's beyond insane. We waged two theatres of war
against completely the wrong countries, killed millions and wrecked
our own culture, waged disinformation psyops on our own people to
maintain a lie, for what?

And despite shooting Bin Laden - which was never a trial or any kind
of real justice by our standards of civilisation, I can't help
thinking the bad guys just got away with it all.

And there they are, still talking about "petrodollars" while the
climate fails and the planet burns.
> You don't need a DSL if you, for example, "just" use Javascript.

I'm in agreement, but I think you still need to build tooling around it.[1] At the very minimum:

1. The code editor needs to be part of the system - pointing the customer at VS Code is a dealbreaker.

2. Debugger needs to be provided: you can't ask the customer to hit F12 and learn how to use the browser's devtools.

3. Documentation is still needed: At least one folder of samples/examples, and at least a single exhaustive reference of all the functions provided by system.

Finally, I wouldn't go with Javascript: Non-developers are less-likely to understand something as complicated as Javascript.

You're using a language that has subtle and hard to find bugs if variables are declared in one of three ways, when a different way is more appropriate. Same with the two different ways to define functions. Same with the difference between all the forms of a for loop. Same with the distinction between a prototyped object and a class. Same for the usage of instance variables vs class variables.

Add typescript support to the mix and you may as well not even bother looking for customers.

[1] I just created a system that uses a vanilla webcomponent for client-side includes of HTML snippets, using only HTML. It's not possible to now set breakpoints in any `script` element that is included using this webcomponent, e.g. `<my-include remote-src=./common-stuff.html>` where `common-stuff.html` has script tags.
Headline should be changed to “40 out of 60 in China”
I find this fascinating. But I’m really curious about whether this self pollination is causing problems with vanilla’s robustness due to a lack of cross pollination.

I think it is important not to take a moralistic lens to these topics but rather a more systemic approach.
At the end of the day, economics is still a social science, and tech cannot abide the social sciences. If Meta didn’t hire anyone after they facilitated genocide, if Twitter never bothered to hire any of the people who wrote books about the problems Twitter would face years before they faced them, if Google never bothered to hire anyone after their seven hundredth social network failed, they sure weren’t going to hire anyone with any real expertise when they decided to build an economy - after all, they’re very smart, and how hard could it be?
I had the same issues with rails, although that’s a while ago; not sure if it improved.
From one the great web 2.0 site "Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie" (Created in 1997) [1] [2]:

[...] There is a long history of using aluminum to both deflect mind control signals and to control them. Evidence suggests that the ancient Atlanteans used aluminum armor and psychotrons in their wars with the Phoenician Old Dynasty. [...] The first truly modern instance of anti-psychotronic aluminum use was in the late 18th century by the American statesman, philosopher, and inventor Benjamin Franklin. His discoveries were built upon in the beginning of the 20th century by Yugoslavian born electrical genius Nikola Tesla. Of course, the US military has been researching aluminum for use in psychotronic weapons and armor as long as it has been involved in mind control, which is to say since it's inception.

Ugh this is a gish gallop of broken straw man analogies. Being able to select and evaluate a single line in a notebook is nothing like adding wings to a car. Fundamentally, selecting a line to evaluate is no different from typing that line again. It’s a shortcut and nothing more, the interaction is still read-eval-print. Note REPL doesn’t even refer to where the input comes from, the point is simply that it handles your input, processes it, displays the result, and then waits for you for more input. This is as opposed to executing a file where the interpreter exits once the execution is completed, and the return value is not automatically printed.

Jupyter Notebook absolutely is a REPL, see my sibling comment above for the WP link describing it as such. It waits for input, then evals the input, the prints the return value, and then loops.

> Done right, an LVT can actually increase land value.

Land value is a measure of supply and demand. But most of the demand isn't for land in particular, it's for indoor space. If you have LVT and don't have density restrictions -- or just don't have density restrictions regardless of LVT -- then people are going to build until the cost of indoor space falls to the construction cost. Then land values will be low because it's being used efficiently, and there is a de facto ceiling on the price -- if you want to add 100 stories of new space and land is dirt cheap then you might build a hundred single-story buildings, but if land gets even slightly more expensive than that you can just build twenty 5-story buildings instead, which is what people would do rather than paying for five times more land unless it's prohibited.

LVT increases this incentive even more, because not only would you have to pay for more land, you would have to pay the LVT on more land, so now it makes sense to build ten or twenty story buildings. Meanwhile if you're not going to build a ten or twenty story building (or in a place like NYC, a hundred story building), holding onto an underutilized lot will cost more than it's worth, so the land values become negligible. This ignoring the overall premise of LVT which is that the tax should be equal to the land value, so even if land values were high, the tax would just offset them and zero them out -- until the high tax incentivized even more construction.

But there is a different reason the argument doesn't apply to this -- or to any other tax. Governments have budgets. If they currently get money from a tax, and you propose to get rid of the tax, and your proposal is to cut spending, the people currently receiving the money (often politically connected corrupt industries or government unions) will fight you. If you propose to get rid of the tax without cutting spending by instituting or raising some other tax, the people you propose to tax instead will fight you. The status quo is sticky.
Because in non-legalise common English usage, "fine" just means "financial (usually) penalty for wrongdoing".

A civil lawsuit doesn't need to be anything like a speeding ticket from a legal point of view, from a normal person's point of view they can both result in a "you did something wrong, now you have to pay an amount set by the legal system".
Yeah but a big part of that is because both parents work.

What do you mean by "own creation"?

Kamprad was a fascist that started IKEA with financing from another fascist, and workers did all the work. What exactly do you imagine he contributed?

And why are you misrepresenting the article you linked? The idea to transfer some of the profits from large corporations into union managed funds came from the largest trade union confederation, not "radical Swedish politicians". Social democrats aren't radical, they're reformists, and the reactionary response to the proposal was arguably much more radical than trying to herd it through parliament.

Practically though, this is unworkable.

The cost to the owner if the release never happens is zero, so he just needs to match whatever $n is the total that everyone else has paid and gets to keep $2n, so the $n is profit that can never result in the album being released.

In other words, the ability to decrement the current price as well, effectively lets the owner set the release price to any arbitrary value above the original stated value, without any oversight or recourse for the people who have already paid.
Also has the side effect of incentivizing groupthink, of which the harm outweighs the hypothetical cases where someone’s feelings might get hurt over an opinion
Is anybody making Alex Jones not to say whatever he wants to say anymore? I mean like forcing him for drugs, surgery on tongue or hands to remove his ability to speak or write down his ideas?

He had freespeech and will have it (even people from jail can speak their mind), he is being held accountable of the content of his speech because lying for profit is not a tolerable practice in society. Same as scammers have freespeech to shell rattlesnake venom, but once they run with the money and rattlesnake is just colored water, the scammers had to answer for their actions.
I think you'll find that even as land values have increased, your local city or county has been slashing tax rates, such that taxes paid have not gone up for these people at all, or only slightly. Heck, if you're in California they're probably paying about $10 in property taxes due to Prop. 13.

Yes, new vs. old is not part of the case, but the consequence of it for ARM.

ARM has designed new architectures (Blackhawk, Cortex-X) which achieve comparable performance to Nuvia's IP, but Qualcomm's assumption is that they can apply Nuvia's IP on top of their existing architecture without the need of licensing this new ARM design.

Outside of this case and any financial implications, this bears a big risk for ARM as well, as Qualcomm's heavily-customized architecture could become the de-facto standard for use-cases where generic ARM is already well-supported (i.e. Smartphones, Windows PCs, cars,...).

That's why it makes sense that ARM's contract with Nuvia restricted the license and any derived IP from being transferred to another party. ARM obviously supported Nuvia to develop ARM for servers, but applied conditions to that contract to mitigate the risk for that custom architecture to be applied in other (rather harmonized) use-cases.

Of course, people get randomly assaulted on the subway. NYC isn't that safe.

However, every time someone gets assaulted on the subway these days, it's in the news, complete with cellphone camera video from multiple witnesses.

Back in the 1960s, when violent stuff happened, there was not much record of it and it didn't get into the news unless it was particularly bad.

Perception has really changed, along with information technology.
Of course it has. The slow but certain financialization of the economy since the 70’s has lead to all of this, including the deindustrialization you mention.
Ehhh… better for the kid? Kids can get plenty of social interactions and variety with a stay at home parent.

Plus they get the benefit of time with parents, parents can focus on doing things they think is valuable for the kid.

To somehow claim that childcare comes at no cost for kids is naive.
pnpm has some advantages
I firmly believe there is no good reason for a UI running on modern hardware to ever feel slow or unresponsive. The application should ensure that any heavy processing is done on a separate thread that doesn’t impact the UI’s ability to respond to user interaction. “Heavy processing” is anything that could take more than 100ms, which includes most network requests. Give the user feedback that the processing is happening, but don’t let that interfere with basic UI operations like navigation, or moving the window around, or exiting the application.

This applies to local apps and web apps alike. No excuses!
I do love that route too. Though I see this as a contextual thing. If you want to go for enterprise use cases, saving time, focusing on functionality, performance, scalability and maintainability becomes very significant.

I am learning REACT due to same from last two days and I see the benefits though find it over-complicating some simple stuff. Appreciate you answering pal. Have a great day!
