You are clearly discussing this in good faith, thank you.

> In other words, most people making environmental arguments against animal agriculture are not trying to trick you.

Sadly ven diagram of animal rights advocates, clueless do gooders and environmentalists overlaps greatly.

Bad faith arguments emerge not only by extremists but also by people eager to be part of the movement with no capacity for independent thought. These things take root and become "common knowledge" within the communities.

They don't need to be actively trying to trick me to muddy the waters with their own, however well intentioned, confusion.

We are still dealing with metaphysical arguments - note you didn't provide any numbers or scale or externalities or consideration towards second order effects or unintended consequences.

I can give a contrived example in the other direction (as its easier to recognize the obvious flaws):

Cars bad. Bicycles good. Clearly. Bike lane therefore must be good. Now you get a dozen guys in spandex burning extra calories and compensating by consuming far more burgers than they otherwise would have. And far worse traffic idling their engines at less efficent stop-and-go low speeds for longer.

What was actually accomplished in terms of CO2? We should ban all bicycles instead.
That is one way to look at it. Another would be that the vast majority of the world population doesn't actually care about doing what you're referring to, don't actually use their computer in that way and don't want apps to be able to spy on each other.
Yeah, unfortunately when there is a dispute in how the law should be read, it goes to the courts. I will say that Apple is at a massive disadvantage even if it's possible for them to win in court because I don't know exactly how the CJEU does things, but generally here in America, there is some debate in judicial philosophies between whether you follow the text, the text and nothing but the text of the law, if you follow the text and the original intent of Congress at the time that they wrote the text, or if you read into the intent of the text and what the text was trying to accomplish.

As far as original intent goes, the EC wrote it, and very recently. There won't be much of a debate if it comes down to that, but if the CJEU is inclined to go straight to the text and question the parties on that, Apple might actually have a decent shot at beating the EU in court, but then theoretically the EC can just rewrite the law and try again and there really isn't anyone that could stop them so… yeah.

Follow the strangler fig pattern, and map out every single task that is required in the migration on a whiteboard.

Write tests if you can, and set up a staging environment for V2 that you can setup and tear down easily for battle testing way before going live.

From there, break the tasks up from above into their business domains, and abstract those into new api services that the v1 system can use without any downtime.

For a frontend migration, that’s a whole different story and you would have to provide more details such as “moving from legacy Angular 1 to React 18 while it’s running”.

Obviously it kills jobs -but that's made up for by the value AI gives enterprise departments and agencies. As a business owner it's clearly more advantageous to cut out paying the middleman when you can just type in a few prompts and get custom fit solution for whatever project you're working on.

It's progress and efficiency. It's advantageous to the people with the purse strings and only hurts the people whose skills are no longer required.

Nvidia’s profit margin for the H100 is supposedly in the neighborhood of 1000%. So they can afford give up some profit if they need to. Couple that with the fact that the software toolchain advantage is significant. That being said, I’m all for more competition in the space.

It has never been easier to show people your creative works whether you paint, make music etc. The barriers are pretty small.

The real issue for creatives is there is too much competition. Too much to choose from. Supply up, demand is largely constant.

I used to be very into privacy, and in my case it became a sort of purist extremism where I felt a sort of superiority for using tools that were open-source, private or disconnected from the internet. I deleted all my social accounts etc.

when I saw that despite my efforts, companies were still able to track, target and advertise to me, and in more ingenious ways than I could combat, I lost interest. not to say that privacy isn't important or that I don't take steps to maintain mine, but along the way I accepted a certain level of giving up privacy in order to have a sane life.
Interesting platform because it's open source does thay mean one could easily move off the platform for any reason.

There is support for the OP's statement, in the case of Celsius at least [0], emphasis mine:

> Because of this dual usage, one must not rely upon the unit name or its symbol to denote that a quantity is a temperature interval; it must be unambiguous through context or explicit statement that the quantity is an interval. This is sometimes solved by using the symbol °C (pronounced "degrees Celsius") for a temperature, and C° (pronounced "Celsius degrees") for a temperature interval, although this usage is non-standard. Another way to express the same is "40 °C ± 3 K", which can be commonly found in literature.

It wasn't just the 486. It was SVGA and SoundBlaster cards making the Amiga and Atari multi-media capabilities mostly irrelevant. The 486 also made 386 machines very cheap, which obviously worsened the problem.
Another the reason the non-68k market was so fragmented was because of the internal politics and coup against Tramiel inside Commodore.

Atari Corp only existed (and produced a 68k) because of his departure. Along with some key engineers. The Atari ST is in large part Shiraz Shivji's design, after coming over from Commodore where he worked on various things including the C64 and one of the ill-fated "business" computers that CBM was making.

I'm not sure what Commodore would look like if the Tramiels had stayed, though. It may have imploded in other ways. And Commodore under him really didn't seem to get software/platforms/compatibility.

Also the ST didn't get placement inside studios just because of the MIDI ports. It was also because it was a) $cheap$ b) completely reliable solid timing [no multitasking helps there] c) had a fairly Mac-like GUI d) the top-notch paper white 640x400 (pretty good resolution for the time) monochrome monitor & mode.

It also wouldn't have done well in studios if it weren't for the German software scene and the development of Steinberg's Cubase and e-Magic's Notator. The ST was popular in Germany. Most of the really good software came out of there (see also Calamus DTP)

Gluing a MIDI port into the Amiga wouldn't necessarily had brought that set of happenstances to the Amiga.

You need to buy into Volume Licensing, which requires at least 4 licenses. You can't buy it directly from Microsoft, but there are resellers that will sell it to you ( https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/partner-di... ). It works out to about $200.

Afterwards, you'll be able to buy an LTSC license. It's around $300 per device.

Looking for pre-existing products doesn't make your work better because it is not working on your product. If your product is useful then it doesn't matter if there is something else. If your product isn't useful, working on it is the only thing that might make it useful.

Looking for existing products is an excuse to quit. If you find something you can say, "My idea isn't worth working on because it already exists." If you don't find anything, you can say "My idea isn't worth working on because there is no market." Both of these are easier than work. Good luck.

He was a major asshole, however he was very good at running tech companies and managing tech products. That's why people drool over him. Watch the YouTube videos from his Next days, and show me a corporate CEO on that level of competence and involvement who's not an asshole.

At least in his case, he was an asshole who actually made something good - not apologizing it, but in most cases it's assholes making up bullshit just to be assholes. Jobs made his employees a lot of money through Apple stock, others usually just take your life force and money away.

A whole lot of manual work goes into making destructible 3D assets. Combined, I've put nearly a full work week into perfecting a breaking bottle simulation in Houdini to add to my demo reel, and it's still not quite there. And that's starting out with nice clean geometry that I made myself! A lot of it comes down to breaking things up based on voronoi tessellation of the surfaces, which is easy when you've got an eight-pointed cube, but it takes a lot more effort and is much more error prone as the geometric complexity increases. If you can figure out how to easily make simple enough, realistic looking, manifold geometry from real world 3d scans that's clean enough for standard 3D asset pipelines, you'll make a lot of money doing it.

Markets are how economic value gets defined. Trying to define it otherwise is fraught with often disastrous difficulty. This is one of the reasons central planning fails.

I think one of the reasons so many creatives feel cheated is there's far too much creativity, so the marginal value of more is low. In that situation of overabundance, some other step in the value chain will deliver most of the value, and reap the reward. This feels like exploitation, but it's just the market telling creatives they need to be producing something else.

Thanks, the process to move off the platform is a process that needs to be built and documented, the data lives in a shared digital ocean bucket, the database uses uuids and we could try dumping only the relevant data out of the shared database. it was built as a multi tenet platform.

Future work is supporting api/secret keys to bring your own s3 bucket/digital ocean spaces, while keeping the database shared. otherwise it costs roughly $11/mo to host a copy of the platform ($6 for a virtual server and $5 for the digital ocean space)

As for taxes, this will be something that will need to be tackled at some point but so far I've been kicking the can down the road hoping I could find a partner to help figure that out in a clever way that is proper.
> how'd you reach that conclusion from glancing at the site?

The first clue is the date, which is mm—dd-yyyy, only really used in the US.

Also, while not “from glancing”, the article speaks in the context of heat in US cities.

But yes, the author is likely taking for granted that non-US residents would read the article.
Well, I'm inclined to interpret "Google Search can rarely depend on semantic meanings hidden in the HTML specification" as meaning exactly what it says. After all, Google's own pages are made of <div>-soup, so I'd hardly imagine that they discriminate against it in others' pages.

American companies tend to write for American audiences, especially when the article leads off with a bunch of American anecdotes.

If it was fastcompany.co.uk and it started off writing about how dangerous temperatures were going to be in London, and Liverpool, I would have assumed it was British.

The "intended audience" isn't just "people who can speak this language", and there are plenty of other context clues other than just "it's in English"

> more than the market says it's worth

It isn't. The market says it's worth a lot. But the vast majority of that "a lot" doesn't go to the actual creators. It goes to middlemen.

Unfortunately, the only fix for that, from the creators' point of view, is for them to own the middlemen themselves. But creators generally have neither the time nor the desire to do that, and doing it detracts from their ability to create.

How about this. Take away all the musicians and their music and see what Spotify and all its software developers are worth by themselves.

Now do the opposite.

Music is one of the most universal and important things in our culture. People define themselves and their identity with it, and most certainly value it and will pay for it.

How we structure our economic systems determines if it’s “cheap” or not and who gets the profits from it. It’s certainly not an intrinsic quality.
