> Completely false. By definition, if you own a plot of land, you have a complete monopoly on that location. Nobody else can compete with the price you put on that slice of the Earth. LAND is defined by its non fungibility. A plot of land in the middle of San Francisco is not the same as a plot of land in the middle of Arizona.

A plot of land in the middle of San Francisco is very similar to another plot of land in the middle of San Francisco. People don’t describe ownership as a “monopoly over a specific object”. That’s just silly. Monopoly is a descriptor of a market. Not specific assets.

> You can clearly see how land has an inelastic supply, yet you continue to think of it as capital which can be produced.

… no I was pretty explicit that land is not capital in those exact words

> The demand to exist in a piece of land has everything to do with the rents of the land.

No, rents (prices) are a function of demand.

> If you can make $30,000 more a year in valuable land than worthless land, using the same labor/capital expenditures, the land rents become $30,000 a year.

Have you considered a Garmin watch? It works well enough (for me anyway) for showing and dismissing notifications from my iPhone. The battery lasts well over a week, and the biometrics and fitness/training stuff is way ahead of anything Apple has to offer. And most of the Garmin watches are indeed round.
Apple copied bigger screens and Android’s notifications.

I have only two reasons to buy a high end phone (which I buy used, of course):

1. Taking good photos. I like my DSLR, but for memories a phone is handier. And cheap phones take crappy photos in low light (i.e. indoor) conditions. I don't want to look at family photos 20 years from now and say "Boy, I wish I paid $200 extra".

2. Lasting longer. My current phone was launched in 2017 (bought in 2019). It had a powerful CPU and a lot of RAM. It's still running fine.
They don't even sell Pixels in most places, the Pixel 9 series is launching in 32 countries, except the Pixel 9 Fold which is only launching in 19. Believe it or not that's a significant improvement from the Pixel 8 series and first Fold which debuted in only 20 and 4 countries respectively.
I'm surprised that no media outlet is seriously talking about its on-device inference capability, which is the biggest next thing for LLM. Apple did a better job on its PR here, but they didn't also get all the attention that it deserves.

On-device inference improves not just its latency, this also removes a huge chunk of LLM's economical constraints from software companies. The biggest advantage of software is its marginal cost being nearly zero. LLM hasn't enjoyed this luxuries but the dynamic is going to change.
Cost-cutting.

Those are contradictory goals - if there are no algorithms and no moderation (be it from censorship from state actor, or moderation from network owner / instance owner / relay admin), then the network is flooded with fake news and propaganda the moment it becomes at least somewhat important.

I am not 100% how nostr works, but to be closer to "fake news and propaganda" side? Because I don't see much of moderation controls in there, it all seems to be on individual basis.

When I worked at Google I got re-orged into the same division as pixel / android.

My director wore an Apple Watch and had an iPhone for personal use, and I am pretty sure I saw an Apple Watch on my VP too. Nobody was expected to eat the dog food and so few did. This was crazy to me coming from Apple- I remember several internal sites would ask you to file a radar (bug report) on why you switched to chrome from safari if you opened them in chrome. So many crazy issues I saw and reported didn’t actually matter to many high ranking members of the pixel team because they didn’t use the devices after 5pm.

There is a lot of incredible talent in that team but I think Google needs a minor culture shift to compete with Apple here.

At least for Android, the main issue you'll face is the lack of Android updates. Which eventually leads to apps no longer working because they don't support your Android version.

My phone (2017) still runs everything fast, but I can't install several apps merely because they don't claim to support my old Android version. I have to go online and find apks of the app's version that last supported my Android version.
It's interesting to me how many people can look at the exact same thing and have completely different experiences and takeaways.

I suggest that this is largely determined by things like the person's previous experiences, maybe even their group or personal identity, etc. and various factors that are not necessarily objective.

For me, I strongly feel that using async/await consistently instead of a promise chain style can clean up a codebase quite a lot.

I also feel that whitespace significant syntaxes are (to me) obviously cleaner. So for a year or two at least I used things like CoffeeScript or even ToffeeScript.

But I got tired of feeling like I was swimming upstream.

I also did a solo project with significant usage of LiveScript a few years ago. Which I think is a very nice language.

By what criterion do you propose we make the decision which naturally occurring behaviors are worth banning? And more importantly — who determines how to enforce the ban? Because usually “those with the gold make the rules” and ask for more legislation to pull the ladder up behind them.

Why is collusion of GameStop or AMC Wall Street Bets meme investors to drive up the price of a stock against hedge funds not worthy of banning? It was cut short in a way, by RobinHood which quickly stopped living up its “for the people” namesake.

Why is collusion of investors to drive up the price of certain startups in private rounds, like Adam Neumann’s WeWork or Travis Kalanick’s Uber not worthy of banning?

Or banking at the same Silicon Valley bank? Or Peter Thiel starting a run on this bank and many of them in unison pulling money out and wiping out the shareholders in a bank that served Silicon Valley for decades?

I mean, I don’t think any of that should be illegal, but what is your consistent criterion and why should others go with whatever your criterion is, versus something else? Or is it just all about “I don’t like that particular thing?”

Really reads like US employment practice meets EU (IE) employment law. In this particular case, the EU employee won despite the huge power asymmetry that normally ensure things go the opposite way.

But I note other comments on collect-ability of the judgement - ignoring it completely is the other US approach and make collection impossible through all sorts of devious delay tactics or even frivolous counter-suits in far off jurisdictions.

I'd like to know how this actually works out and whether collection of any actual money ever takes place.
Not sure this is accurate as we've discovered that water can reside deeper in the Earth than previously imagined and in addition to that the density of water at the surface is different than at the bottom of the ocean. I suppose they are also accounting for the salt being removed too. But my argument is probably in the margin of error so what do I know?

Yed desktop is one oldest tools I constantly come back to.

But as for OPs question, I would try any tool (diagrams.net or mermaid/graphviz ) and then when the diagram is clear, useful and makes sense, I'd go to graphics team your company use and make them unified with rest of the design.

Or if it's out of budget, go with excalidraw as it basically became current fashion and allows to easily build your own library of elements.

But still, advise for my former self would be still: break your process into two parts, where you focus on logic and visual clarity separately. So... Mermaid -> Excalidraw.
Yes, that is also my anecdata (women with giant phones in their purses, or even wearing the phone as a purse). I have an iPhone 12 mini, really don't want anything bigger, but perhaps I'll go for a good watch and buds that can be online without a phone and also leave the giant phone in the bag most of the day, that would mean great battery life, less phone in hand, less distraction perhaps?

It's a mystery why.
Assuming you mean "the depth of this water, if confined to a cross-sectional area the size of the United States", this is one of those nice Fermi estimation problems:

- I know the US contains hundreds of millions of people, and the world contains a single-digit number of billions. So the US has about 10% of the world's people.

- The US probably isn't particularly dense or sparse relative to other populated areas, so 1/10 the population should be 1/10 the Earth's land area.

- The Earth has twice as much ocean as land, and

- The ocean is a few miles deep - let's say 5 - so there's about 10 miles of ocean depth per land area.

- So compressing that to 1/10th the land area suggests the oceans should cover the US to a depth of about 100 miles.

The exact answer, it turns out, is about 89 miles - really close, without looking up a single piece of information!

> Unfortunately, it wasn't clear how services operate, though

It's also not clear for us! We're considering using a regular replicated database backend with multiple service nodes accessing it. Making the service nodes replicate directly through the network is also an option.

> Is there still a benefit to having more than one server?

Good question. I'm not a staffer at Libera so I don't know, but they believe they need multiple servers. If nothing else, it keeps latency low between clients and servers no matter the client's continent.

> That means support for posting images and videos, audio/video chat, offline history, easy switching between desktop and phone, deep and granular admin controls, etc. I'd love for there to be an open source & open protocol option here, but I'm terrified to even imagine an RFC that implements all of this in a way that works in practice.

There are already specs for most of this stuff. Images and videos are through sharing URLs freely and there's https://github.com/progval/ircv3-specifications/blob/filehos... to tell client where they can upload media (I wrote it as a joke, but there are a couple implementations now???). Video/audio chat won't happen, because it's just too hard. https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/chathistory for offline history already has a decent number of implementation. And easy switching is going to be tough but there has been work on it from https://soju.im/ (read markers, synchronizing PMs) that we can reuse.

"deep and granular admin controls" is probably going to be through non-standardized commands as is tradition, so servers can freely innovate and there isn't much to gain through standardization. https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/pull/484 would help build GUIs for new custom flags, though.
I pay for Gemini Advanced and it's much better than GPT-2, I think. I often search the same thing between Gemini and GPT-4 and it's a toss up which is better (they each get questions right when the other gets it wrong, sometimes).

But recently I asked Gemini "Bill Clinton is famous for his charisma and ability to talk with people. Did he ever share tips on how he does it?" and Gemini responded with some generic "can't talk about politics" answer, which was a real turn-off.

> "Notably, the Pixel Watch 3 doesn't include dual-frequency/multiband GPS/GNSS."

That doesn't mean "no GPS"

Weird cherry pick from a larger quote that clearly implies it has GPS:

> Again, this is an area I’ll dive into during my in-depth review down the road, looking at both the heart rate accuracy in running, as well as various changes they’ve made around GPS/GNSS accuracy. Notably, the Pixel Watch 3 doesn’t include dual-frequency/multiband GPS/GNSS. However, as I’ve constantly said: I don’t care how a company arrives hardware-wise at an accurate GPS track, as long as they do so. We’ve seen companies with multiband implementations do worse than other companies without multiband. So as long as Google can deliver accurate GPS tracks, I’m happy.

I ordered and sent back a Pixel 7 because it was so large/heavy compared to what I was used to. Ended up buying a refurbed Pixel 5 (the model before Google introduced the new camera bar design) that's still kicking, been very happy.

I think you can make a good argument that collective action helped end slavery, I don't think you can make a good argument that anything other than market forces is bringing us the transition to renewable energy.

Ozone was easy to get an international agreement to fix, because it already had economic alternatives.

The Donbas is populated mainly by Russian people

False. The regions in question identified as Ukrainian, and by a solid majority (55-45) in the most recent census. Yes -- even Russian speakers identified as "Ukrainian" when given the choice. And just because 45 percent identified as "Russian", for most this was a matter of linguistic identification, nothing more. It doesn't mean they were irredentist, or actually wanted to live in Putin's Russia.

Who had been in a civil war

False. In no sense was the 2014 conflict ever a "civil war". It was led, orchestrated, and fought by Russian nationals from the very start. This is openly acknowledged by Russian sources, including the very people who organized the initial skirmishes, and there's really no controversy about it.
