Thanks for the heads up, I assumed they had already done this with my data.

I think we just needed some government with the balls to go for it and everyone else on the west coast will follow. The legality of DST might be an issue in the US but if we can clear that hurdle then BC could be the catalyst.

Atomic Habits is a great book for little things like this that make a big difference when compounded with time.

Nobody sees Google's numbers except Google... in other words, the numbers are not a sales tool for Google like they are for anti-virus/blocking companies. So, there's no reason for Google to pump up their numbers, it would just be extra work to make their product worse which wouldn't make sense.

Legally, you're absolutely right. But as camera technology, data transmission, data storage, and automated data analysis progress, maybe it's also reasonable that privacy laws progress with the technology. I expect any police officer or other person to freely view my license plate as I drive around and I have no problem with that.

But, I do not think it's reasonable for an automated system to systematically capture, store, and analyze all of my movements (or anyone else who is not suspected of a serious crime). If they suspect I have done something illegal, they should have to get a warrant and then the system can be triggered to start tracking me.

I understand the desire for the data... sometimes I would like to know if my kids are following the rules at home, but I have a stronger conviction that I don't want my kids to grow up in a home where they feel like they are under constant surveillance. It's a gross feeling to be under constant surveillance, like you're living in a panopticon built for prisoners, which is an unfair side effect when you've done nothing wrong. Mass data surveillance of everyone is a totalitarian dystopian that I don't want to live in.

Maybe it's one of those situations where it takes a good guy using surveillance to take down a bad guy using surveillance?

I assume he's planning to build a super mansion once he gets enough acreage.

Reminds me of a guy near me who bought three already massive adjacent properties. Tore down two of them. One become a pond. The other one was rebuilt into a massive $30M mansion. The third was already a $15M mansion so he kept that as his guest house. The funny thing is that his guest house... has a guest house.

There are some inference chips that are fundamentally different from GPUs. For example, one of the guys who designed Google's original TPU left and started a company (with some other engineers) called groq ai (not to be confused with grok ai). They make a chip that is quite different from a GPU and provides several advantages for inference over traditional GPUs:

That was my thought too, and then I wondered if the workers are $100k more expensive to bring here then maybe the jobs are just going to go to the same people, but in their home country.

Fair enough, I misunderstood what he meant by "deprecate JS runtimes".

I agree with the first part, but getting rid of JS entirely means that if you want to augment some HTML with one line of javascript you have to build a WASM binary to do it?

I see good use cases for building entirely in html/JS and also building entirely in WASM.

Exactly. Amazon might approve my returns (or not cancel my account) because I buy more than someone else, but they don't share my purchase/return ratio with any third parties.

Agreed. We call those people assholes. We try our best to avoid hiring those people and we weed them out of our company as fast as possible if they're discovered. We also try to have as flat a structure as possible so nobody is taking credit for anyone else's work and ideally many of us are working together so we all share the glory or frustration when something goes well or not.

I was going to ask the same thing and I hope they answer.

I can't speak for OP but I can report on what I'm seeing... I know a lot of British, Canadian, and Australian expats that have moved to California in the past 5-15 years.

Why? Healthcare is probably everyone's first concern, but expats tend to be well educated successful people who can afford excellent healthcare... I'm an expat from a different country and seeing the top end of the healthcare facilities in the States is a luxury experience compared to national healthcare where I'm from. I wish everyone here had access to that, but at least poor people in California do have access to state healthcare.

Politics is a shit show, and has gotten worse recently of course, but that's true in a lot of places now and everyone I know came in before the most recent decline. I know a couple of families who have gone back to their countries, but all of them went back because they wanted to be close to family again, but none of them left because they didn't like it here.

Across everyone I know, the main appeals for coming to California seem to be weather and lower taxes than their home country. Cost of living is similar to many of the big cities in the countries I mentioned above. I'm not suggesting America is a better place, that's a different calculation for everyone, just reporting on what I'm seeing.

Is there enough support to reverse brexit (yet)?

After a certain point, more money isn't a motivator to everyone.

I think it's similar to Tesla entering the automotive world. The existing automakers had some moats, but they also had a lot of legacy responsibilities and liabilities that Tesla did not have (existing warranties, lawsuits, recalls, parts stock, maintaining support for old vehicles in various internal software systems, updating software on old vehicles when age related problems arise, retiree pensions/healthcare, etc).

A newcomer in the heavy equipment space will have similar challenges and advantages. Funny enough, a lot of heavy equipment works very similar to cars with their CAN (and other) Buses for control and feedback.

> I think people might pay for micro-transactions, but a lot of news has no real value.

Ya, I'd pay $0.25 or $0.50 on a whim for any random article. For good articles I'd pay more, but the problem is that you don't know if it's going to be good information or some clickbait crap until you read it, so it has to be priced with that risk in mind.

But maybe I'm unique, I currently have paid subscriptions to a few online publications because I believe it's important to pay for news with money instead of clicks (if you want the news provider to be incentivized to generate quality news instead of clickthroughs).

... and I'm going to speculate that a relatively simple explanation for this difference is that men hold more manual labor jobs than women and those jobs are going to be transformed less by AI than office jobs.

Absolutely. Some of my family owns a construction company and the career path for all employees in that company is basically to work your body while you're young and then move into management/estimating jobs before you do too much damage to your body.

Not to mention... why don't they want to bring him back? It took awhile for them to come out with a reason so is that the real reason, or is that an excuse because he's no longer alive? Very scary either way.

The other important part of this policy is that it normalizes kids not paying for lunch. This is important because they realized many kids who couldn't afford lunch were still skipping their free lunch because they were embarrassed to get a free lunch. When everyone gets a free lunch then nobody is embarrassed.

If you do a bold version, it could have a cream cheese shmear (uneven) stroke around the letters.

We use a much short heartbeat interval because our use case is for real time control and monitoring so our users need to know immediately if the connection is lost.

We've had a production app with them for over 10 years and it's generally great. The only thing to be aware of is this Chrome bug:

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/362210027?pli=1

You can add a recurring ping/pong between the client/server so you can know with some recency that the connection has been lost. You shouldn't have to do that, but you probably want to until this bug is fixed.

Not to mention, some major parts of the websocket API have been broken in Google Chrome for over two years now.

Chrome no longer fires Close or Error events when a websocket disconnects (well, at least not when they happen, they get fired about 10 minutes later!). So, your application won't know for 10 minutes that the connection has been severed (unless the internet connection is also lost, but that isn't always the case when a websocket is disconnected).

Here's the chrome bug:

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/362210027?pli=1

From that bug report it looks like the Chrome bug is less than a year old, but the Chrome bug is originally mentioned here in April 2023 for a similar bug in iOS (the iOS bug has been resolved):

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75869629/ios-websocket-c...

I kind of suspect Chrome is actually doing this intentionally. I believe they do this so a tab can recover from background sleep without firing a websocket close event. That's helpful in some cases, but it's a disaster in other cases, and it doesn't matter either way... it breaks the specification for how websockets are expected to work. WebSockets should always fire Close and Error events immediately when they occur.

I agree with a lot of that. But, it's a lot easier to get someone to try your web app than install a native app. It's also easier to get the IT department to allow an enterprise web app than install a native app. Web apps do have some advantages over native apps.

Agreed. Some people saw it as quality of life, some people saw it as prosperity, etc. However you want to define it, the point is the same... many people were shocked that the Chinese middle class had more than they did.

Purists will probably disagree, but my favorite version of Tetris is the version for Oculus VR. Forget the 3D/VR part of it, which is fine but not what I like about it... the way it mixes music, colors, scenery, and pace to create an emotional reaction is simple yet brilliant.
