> Steve Jobs wouldn't let his kids use iPads. He must have known something of the side-effects in kids and iPads.

The first iPad was released in Jan 2010, and he died Oct 2011. His kids would have been 19, 15, and 12 or so. Even if the kids had access to it before official release, I doubt Jobs has much data specifically on an iPad’s side effects on kids, especially little kids, considering he didn’t have any.

The best source I could find was this interview, which seems far from an indictment of kids using iPads, but rather a general aversion to his kids using modern computing devices:

https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/11/fashion/steve-jobs-apple-...

> “So, your kids must love the iPad?” I asked Mr. Jobs, trying to change the subject. The company’s first tablet was just hitting the shelves. “They haven’t used it,” he told me. “We limit how much technology our kids use at home.”
"DOGE" is probably not a security (that will ultimately be a question for the courts I'm sure, but you have to stretch the Howey test quite far to find a "common enterprise". It's a picture of a dog with some dumb text), and there's no credible evidence that Musk ever dumps it or even really pumps it.

I wonder if there is some way to DoS the tracking services by basically accepting third party cookies but then immediately discarding them so every page load generates a new cookie and presumably state stored on the other end to match it. Or are these tracking cookies typically self-contained so that no state is stored server-side?

And yet when stored on any computer system, that string will be encoded using some number of bytes. Which you can set a limit on even though you cannot cut, delimit, or make any other inference about that string from the bytes without doing some kind of interpretation. But the bytes limit is enough for the situation the OP is talking about.

Don't forget over $15bln of tax money they got for doing barely anything so far.
Let’s call it “Gross Coding”
F#'s computation expressions are closely related to Haskell's monads + do-notation combo, CEs are both more limited than Haskell's approach to monads (from a type expressibility perspective) and more expressive than pure monads (from a modeling perspective, can model a general class of computational structures beyond monads; CE's also share F#'s syntax, with extensible semantics). This notation can be advantageous and clarifying when used in the right places. It has advantages over C#'s async from a flexibility/extensibility perspective and also provides more options in orchestrating more complex control flow across async computations. C#'s approach is more streamlined if you only care about using async according to how Tasks are designed (which still enable a quite broad scope) and don't need the flexibility for other computational patterns.

Simple things like the maybe and either monad are often clearer in this notation. Complex things like alternatives to async (such as CSP derived message passing concurrency), continuations, parser combinators, non-determinism, algebraic effects and dependency tracked incremental computations are naturally modeled with this same machinery, with CE notation being a kind of super helpful DSL builder that makes certain complex computations easier to express in a sequenced manner.

If the custom syntax was only for async you'd have a point, but the general power of the framework make it the more preferable approach by far, in my opinion.

This service uses a different radio link using LTE. That’s why you don’t need the dish. They had to launch new satellites with the extra radio gear. So your past experience is not necessarily representative.
I think the whole industry wrecked our posture, and it goes back to the CRT era.

The CRT monitors were big heavy things that sat on the desk. There effectively wasn't much manoueverabilty in a CRT stand, and only the expensive/later models had them. The CRT was below eye level, so we all tilted our head forward and looked at a downward angle

When flat screen monitors came along, the didn't originally stray far the the height the CRT's were at, but monitor stands slowly started to increase in height over time and things are a bit better now - and the additional options for mounting them in various ways has improved things immensely.

When you're seated or standing at your desk with correct posture, the centre of your monitor should be the same height as your eyes as if you were looking into a mirror. In fact to compensate so many people are looking down at their phone screens we could possibly put the computer monitor even higher to balance things out.

- Definition of this is 12,000 2011 USD, BLS says thats 17,600 2024 USD. Looking like 2024 closes at a little under 13,000 24 USD. If we calculate out the 6% CCP standard GDP growth rate, it'd take 5 years

- GDP is not very likely to grow at the formerly-real 6% per year moving forward. Population peaked, trade is now a tailwind instead of a headwind, GDP per capita at 13,000 is 0.5x Russia and 2.5x India, and we're in year 2 of a deflationary crisis that's barely being held off, if it is, and is characterized by an significant oversupply in housing stock that'll take years to run down. So I'll tack on 2 years, make it 7 years, 2031.

If Starlink is a technology just for ships and planes then that's great.

But I assume we are talking about use cases beyond tiny niches.

Will it or will farmland value take a dump but remain unchanged in use?

I always thought of farmland these days as a use of last resort and if it could be marketable for buildings, it’s already not economically worth it as a farm except speculatively

Kubernetes is great example of the "second-system effect".

Kubernetes only works if you have a webapp written in a slow interpreted language. For anything else it is a huge impedance mismatch with what you're actually trying to do.

P.S. In the real world, Kubernetes isn't used to solve technical problems. It's used as a buffer between the dev team and the ops team, who usually have different schedules/budgets, and might even be different corporate entities. I'm sure there might be an easier way to solve that problem without dragging in Google's ridiculous and broken tech stack.

Specifically on reducing farmland. Denmark is intensly cultivated, and the reduction targets the lowest yield land that for various reasons were reclaimed over the last two centuries. Using the high yield land more efficiently is intended.
They tried stockpiling aluminum in Mexico during the Trump ban and that was shutdown quickly. I guess they just have to be more convoluted about it. I wonder if Trump will do something like “tariff China and any country that doesn’t tariff China itself (transitive)”, but it feels like it might be futile to do that.
> Except China, does any other country have the ability to do this?

Any country capable of launching satellites or even sounding rockets could almost certainly do enough damage to majorly disrupt operations. Certainly the EU or Iran, possibly South Africa with the recent resumption of rocket launches at OTB.
I think this is a psychological thing. Humans during evolution were highly rewarded for seeking and keeping powerful allies. So by imagining that Elon is my friend (because I'm his friend) and Elon is really intrinsically powerful (instead of just a lucky, well positioned grifter that can fall from grace at any moment) I can feel better about my own safety. I can feel more powerful by extension and the indirection somehow muddles that fact that it's all made up. The same mechanism works in religious people.
Best time to do that would've been 19 days ago, but here we are. Buckle up.
They are prima facie wrong, their overcapacity is bad and actively harmful, this isn't a sign of it succeeding, its a sign of desperation from it failing.

There's a type of Western mind that gets distracted by their scale, and getting to build things we built a century ago.

Dazzled by the spectacle, this misses that their economy is characterized by deflationary headwinds due to a massive, massive over-investment in property, and this just squeezes the toothpaste (debt taken on to goose GDP) to another side of the tube. (housing to batteries)
That's an interesting view. I always thought the coast cities had naval business and trade and they are simply still running off those initial successes. But your point is also very interesting. Do you have any data around it?

Now that Starlink owner Musk effectively runs the US government from Trump's ear no divestment of any kind will happen that negatively impacts Mr. Musk
Denmark has a population of 5.8 million and currently produces enough to feed 15 million. There’s no need for imports because of 15% less farmland. Besides, all this export only contributes about 1% of GDP. So it’s not economically important either.

One can even argue that the reduction in environmental and climate impact will create room for other industries that already are carbon-taxed.
idk, I specifically go to twitter for my political fix and when I go to the for you section I see a ton of liberal stuff and a ton of conservative stuff, many posts are unhinged in either direction. Others are more moderate, in general I don't really follow any political accounts, and yet I see a many posts that give me a great view of the zeitgeist for each side.
There have been many famines in Europe throughout the past few centuries. Perhaps we're now at the end of history and nothing like that will ever happen again but since countries aren't willing to take that bet.

One thing I like about The Ministry for the Future, is that it doesn't focus on the "apocalyptic" aspect (i.e., the usual fighting for survival), but rather examines the political and economic aspects.

I agree, that its the intent. The downside of the US is that it moves slow. But the upside is that it’s the oldest country in the world if you measure by (codified) constitution. You might think European countries are older but Germany didn’t exist till the late 1940’s. If you really want to stretch it you can argue early 1800’s but that’s facetious.

The point is to be highly distributed. Many keys to power. It makes it hard to get shit done when people are unwilling to work together (read partisan hacks). Which is what makes it strong against takeover, even getting half the keys will still grind your takeover to a slow roll. That’s petty robust to adversaries.

I have a hot take. My faith in the system strengthened with Trump and especially the stupid coup. Because I saw a man try very hard to take over and despite having a coalition that was practicing party over country, he still couldn’t. Though how many keys does he have now and did he do the legwork to make it work a second time? That we’ll see. But even then, I think it tells a successful story of robustness. That it took a few hundred years of growing power and extreme partisanship to break it. Clearly it can be and needs to be improved but clearly it’s got something of value. Something to learn from and iterate from rather than rework from scratch. I’m not aware of any country that’s survived under such extreme circumstances, but I’m not knowledgeable enough here. Please correct me but cite so I can learn more. Defining what is a country, let alone a continuous empire is very messy business with a lot of national narrative tied in (we can even argue the US’s fragmentation would disqualify, but the constitution stayed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
Modern colleges, startup incubators, professional associations are some examples of cliques that are better than mafia. I guess a key is that these cliques do not completely encompass every aspect of a member's life and do not use violence as a means to enforce their rules.

In another comment you pointed out overtourism but in this comment you seem to be saying your concern is that it will be easier to create content… for the people that are already there? Who cares if people make content or not while they are there?

Your issue is either not wanting people on their phones in parks — which you cannot control — or not wanting people in parks at all, which not only can you not control but that would also be a downright insane desire.

The reason why parks exist and are maintained is that people go to them. If nobody goes to a park, there is no incentive for upkeep or staff. Much (or virtually all) of the wilderness that you have enjoyed in your life is available to enjoy because people before you enjoyed it and made it accessible to you in some way. That is how parks work
I thought the idea of a "carbon coin" issued by central banks (the primary financial theme of the book) was on fairly solid ground. I'd be interested to know what you found implausible about it.

Flip that, and you’re closer to correct for everyone.

You have to do something truly extraordinary to get in, with the things you listed as being some of the least common types.

Grades just need to be directionally correct rather than perfect.

Also, a side note about legacy admits…

While the admission rate of legacies is about 33% at Harvard (12% at Yale, 30% at Princeton, and 14% at Stanford), that doesn’t mean that being a legacy was the primary reason they got in.

First, 67% of legacies still get denied — that’s quite a bit.

Second, the folks who get into elite schools often know how to raise their kids in a way that increases their chances to get into an elite school. It’s an advantage, but much more often than not, the applicant put in the effort to make themselves a strong applicant.

The legacy “advantage” comes into play almost purely at the margin, when someone is borderline admit/waitlist or waitlist/deny, and the legacy status will push them to the favorable side. You’re not going to see a substantial difference in the folks who were rated comparably.

People seem to want it to be that legacies are freeloading off of their parents and aren’t really qualified admits, and that largely isn’t true. The exceptions are examples like z-list applicants (which you mentioned) or recruited athletes who also happen to be legacies.
The underlying implementation mechanism is not the issue. If unicode had actual support for Japanese characters so that when one e.g. converted text from Shift-JIS (in the default, supported way) one could be confident that one's characters would not change into different characters, I wouldn't be complaining, whether the implementation mechanism involved variant selectors or otherwise.
"Something more self-serve" is essentially what graph databases provide.

If you don't have the time to use one of those or build your own (and you probably shouldn't) sort of thing on top of SQL, then you can instead define a bunch of VIEWs using recursive queries and GROUP BY and aggregation functions to provide something simple for your users to query.

If you do want to build something more general purpose... If you begin by modeling your schema in something other than SQL DDLs (like with an AST) and then model FKs as bi-directional relationships (because they are), and if you add a way to group those relationships, and further provide a way to define a subset of like columns from all the tables in a graph defined by a group of those relationships, then suddenly you can also come up with a simple(ish) language for expressing [sub-]graphs that you want to fetch. And there's your ad-hoc query language for dealing with recursive graphs in your relational data.

Of course, if you have loop detection in your business logic when writing to the database, then you can safely use UNION ALL always.

EDIT: Removed a bunch of stuff that was partly based on a faulty memory of how UNION works vs UNION ALL. Indeed, UNION ALL means the RDBMS does not need to keep around the whole result set.
Tesla fanatics espouse the same sort of thinking. Tesla will figure out FSD and will capture the entire automotive market leaving competitors to close up shop and give up. I don't get it. Otherwise intelligent people have told me some version of this with a straight face. It's like they've somehow blocked how the economy functions out of their minds in an effort to further exalt Tesla.

Not sure if they are dead in the water or not. However, they have until July 30, 2026 to deploy half of their fleet or they lose the FCC granted frequencies. The fleet is 3232 satellites.

So far they launched 2 test satellites. They contracted most of the launches to either new rockets or ones in development, like New Glenn, Ariane 6, ULA Vulcan. They actually had to contract three Falcon 9 launches to help out with that. In reality, I think SpaceX will end up launching a lot more than that.

Unless FCC is willing to be lenient, 50% of the satellites will be hard to accomplish by the deadline.
