Agree 100%. I pretty much discount everything everyone says until we start running hard science experiments.

One way to measure scientifically is to ask somebody to picture a room. The the experimenter keeps describing adding items to the room until the experimentee can no longer recall. By defining positions for all these items one could verify it is indeed visual memory by asking location questions.

I don't know if other people have thought of this and started doing it yet, but they should.

> it got to America at the beginning of the 20th century almost a century after pizza restaurants were born in Naples

Everything you’ve said is correct. The question is whether 19th-century Neapolitan pizza would be recognised, by Italians, as pizza today. The answer is a solid maybe. In Napoli, yes. Elsewhere, including in America, much less certainly.

Note that I’m not suggesting people would think it’s not related to proper pizza. But if you told the average Roman or Venetian about New Jersey tomato pie [1], they’re likely to react as they would to Hawaiian pizza. Even though that product resembles pizza marinara quite closely. (Even when baked on a bubbling versus rising dough.)

There’s a difference between remote work within a country (the one everyone is in favour of) versus remote work worldwide (or at least to some range of time zones). The former doesn’t require anything extra regarding legal stuff, while the latter does (and it’s way less common than the former).

All the companies I have worked for in a remote fashion were offering remote within the country and also on the countries they have a legal presence (which were 2 or 3 at most)

Yes, but that's still a far cry from a million cores. Unless we change the power requirements and heat generation fundamentally, I don't see how we could get to a point where we have a million CPU cores that look anything like we have today (you can get there with more limited cores, but my impression of OP's comment was that they would be like today's cores).
Yes that’s a plausible scenario. Another potential trigger is that Ukraine manages a deep strike into Russia which causes significant damage and a conventional reply is considered non-sufficient.

Cities: Skylines is the obvious answer; I believe the 2nd game is not as good so you might wanna go for the original.

I've been playing a lot of Transport Fever 2; it's more akin to Railroad/Transport Tycoon (or OpenTTD), focused on connecting industries and cities with trucks, trains, ships, trains, etc. It's quite easy to get started with and addictive though you do not build cities.

If you want something more hardcore and with tons of micromanagement I've heard good things of "Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic" it does look much more serious and hard to learn though, been meaning to try it but haven't had the time.

There are a few issues. First, you lose 20 µm due to the saw cut between the dies. I saw an NXP patent that said this was wasting 30% of the die for their tiny chips. If you made the chips smaller, you'd be wasting even more. Another issue is that you need some area for the bond pads, so you can't make your chips arbitrarily small or they will be useless.

Looking at a random die pick-and-place machine [1], it handles dies down to 0.2mm in either dimension. So you could handle smaller dies than mine with an off-the-shelf machine, but not a lot smaller.

I have similar problem. I don't have inner monologue, so when I want to share my thoughts, I try to compile them in real time during the speaking. Which means I have no idea how the sentence will end or if I will even be able to get to the point I want to make. And additionally I have problem with focusing (ADHD probably) so my only sensible way to communicate with people is by writing, not orally.

Right now, AI has the skill of a friend's son in high school that's good with computer has.

The Efficient-market Hypothesis[1] posits that someone with more resources than you has already made a similar analysis, so the prices of those shares already reflect the true value, including the value of potential future returns. Lucky for you, all those stocks are probably represented in large index funds, which are much less volatile than individual stocks.

Also in "management", also feel like my skills will atrophy if I don't keep up.

What I do is make tools to make my life easier. For example, if there's a web service at work I use for mundane lookups I'll find out if it has an API and write a CLI for it to speed up my daily grind. Once it's tuned to my liking I'll share it with the team. I do struggle to convince others to try it. Not sure why. But I don't really care because I use the tools every day.

Nothing loads quickly, I stand there for what seems like ages to get temperatures for my city, every time. I hate opening it and trying to get info from it. The map for clouds or precip is even worse, failing to load the one part of the map that I want to see.

> Free speech can generally be constrained
> But either way, no one is arguing that free speech is absolute. This is a straw man.

No it is not. This argument was not used to address something in the thread, it is used as a foundation for the next paragraph (and I needed to say it because on this forum some people actually argued that free speech is absolute in the past, so I cannot assume that you or anyone else agrees with that).

Every distortion is different and has some unique traits that need to be considered on case by case basis. Example:

>...where poor people could not vote

People can vote even in totalitarian dictatorships. It is not the only process that defines democracy. They must have a candidate to vote in the first place. What are the chances that a candidate outside of existing party structures and their fundraising machines will be able to communicate own political views to a sufficient number of voters? How this candidate can secure a party nomination in presence of various special interests groups with money? The list of questions like that is very long. So no, it is not about "poor people who cannot vote". It is a much more complex issue.

>Sounds more like you're sour that your political project isn't popular.

You are too quick to jump to conclusions. I don't have/support any political projects related to USA. That country is not my problem, it's just an object of my curiosity.
Car dependency and car related infrastructure are enormously expensive to society. Think of every parking lots needed for people to park their car, motor accident, tire, noise, CO2 pollution, materials needed for repaving and repairing road damage, etc.

Soundproofing sounds cheaper, but it's just another additional cost imposed by cars.

The sooner we are able to walk or cycle or use public transit, the better off we are collectively for many reasons.
I'm not sure I'd call it a scam. It certainly takes advantage of the fact that voters don't seem to really believe (or understand) that money is fungible.
It's one of those "yes, obviously" situations that are surprisingly controversial if you mention it in conversation. There are a lot of people (likely the already heavily hearing-damaged) that have zero problem with road noise and are very dismissive of any and all noise concerns.
I developed a program for the Organiser II which interfaced with a light sensor on the expansion port to record "shadow profiles" of tree crowns which were used to generate tree health statistics for use in forestry. You told the program what species you were going to profile, then walked at a regular pace in a straight line from one side of the crown shadow to the other and it would record a profile to storage, calculate its deviation from the average for that species and use that to produce a health score. Repeat this for a given number of trees per hectare and it gave an indication of the health for that section. All this was based on a theory (which I had my doubts about) of one of my professors and who better to implement it than the one computer nerd who happened to be studying forestry at that university? I don't think the scores were all that useful and remote sensing was starting to take off anyway but it did give me a chance to work with this device. At the same university we used everything from PDP-11's, VAXen plus all matter of other DEC hardware - DEC Rainbows instead of clones, etc - plus a host of HP stuff. Add the Acorn Archimedes a few years later, the Amiga I got for next to nothing 'because it did not work' (a single small electrolytic capacitor had blown its guts, I had one lying around so a few minutes later I had a working Amiga for the price of a good meal. I also rebuilt a CGA (digital TTL input) colour monitor I had lying around by designing and including an analogue RGB input, somewhat to my own amazement it worked just fine) and pretty soon I was doing mostly tech stuff.

>> The idea that buses must be enormous vehicles belching along the roadway packed with people is an anachronism.

Oh, absolutely. I've been taking buses (and trains, and trams, and trolleys) all my life and I've never been on an enormous vehicle belching along the roadway packed with people. Where does that imagery come from? Mad Max?

Where I live now, in the UK, buses look like this:

https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/buses/

You can see the people beside the bus for size comparison. I don't have the exact numbers but the typical double-decker takes about 5/3s the space on the road that an SUV takes and a substantial fraction are electric or hybrid, so no, I don't think your maths pan out.

Edit: btw a single-decker EV bus will set you back ~£340,000. Hybrids and hydrogen cell ones are more expensive, around £500k (around $590k). Dirty petrol and diesel double deckers cost £20-30k but those are no longer allowed according to the mayor's green policy:

The data is mildly interesting but the detailed analysis sort of misses the underlying meta. Between very high prices and modest generational performance increases there are few compelling reasons to upgrade desktop computers as frequently as we used to.

The NYT carried another opinion piece by the same author this year[1] along with a number of reader rebuttals[2], including this one from Mindy Kursban:

> It is surprising that in his obituary for cultivated meat, Joe Fassler spends so few words on the viability of the science and cites more chief executives than scientists.

> Just recently, the chair of Tufts University’s biomedical engineering department, David Kaplan, who has published more than 1,000 peer-reviewed papers, told[3] a room full of cultivated meat scientists that progress over the past five years gives him “complete confidence that we’re going to get to where we need to go.”

> There are many eminent scientists all over the world who share Dr. Kaplan’s view, but readers would not know that from reading Mr. Fassler’s essay, which argues that cultivated meat is a project of Silicon Valley “dreamers with a fancy prototype, a pitch deck and a good amount of natural charm.”

> This groundbreaking science may be taking longer than initially thought, but it’s making strides, so it’s a shame that Mr. Fassler spends so little time exploring it.

I was saying “real” as a comparison to the article this thread inspired. If you change the price of your product there is a “real” difference: your product now hits your customers wallet differently. It’ll change your position in the market when compared to your competitors. Same when a product starts using cheaper ingredients, you ruin the taste, yadda yadda.

The difference here is that the Bud Light product hasn’t changed one iota. You’re right that the sales figures are real but the outrage was an entirely manufactured thing.
It's really difficult to predict and has to be managed well by the company. But a big one is when a model gets discontinued because at that point no more will be made so supply is fixed.

So the current generation of professional (ie steel) Daytonas have a ceramic bezel. This is to avoid scratches but means they can shatter with enough force. The ceramic itself is baked in a plasma furnace. The tech behind these things can actually be really cool.

So Daytonas have historically sold above MSRP on the secondary market but not by this much. About 10 years ago the new ceramic Daytonas were released and what happened was a lot of people sold their previous DAytonas to "upgrade". This meant that what was 6 months earlier a $13k MSRP watch was selling for $10-11k and that seemed crazy to me given it was now discontinued so I bought one. At the peak of the market, that watch would sell for $30-35k. Now it's probably under $25k but that's still a good investment.

But steel Rolexes never really appreciate that much because the volumes ard really high. You're not going to get rich buying a steel Submariner. There's simply too many of them out there.

But one exception is the really vintage Daytonas, particularly what are called Paul Newman Daytonas [1]. These were watches that back in the 1980s sat in a display case for years (at $500 or less) because no one bought them but an association with Paul Newman skyrocketed them in the public consciousness to the point that a 1960s era Paul Newman Daytona in mint condition can easily be worth $500k-$1m+.

The market dynamics are really fascinating but it's now become essentially impossible buy an in-demand watch from an AD unless you're a big spender on other products there (they're all typically jewelers as well). The history of Rolex was in utility not luxury (eg the GMT was invented for Pan Am pilots who suddenly were flying cross-country, the Submariner is a dive watch, the Daytona was originally for racing drivers, etc).
