I had a similar thought process in my teens, my dad was a building surveyor which was a very middle class job back in the day. But it dawned on me that there's only so many building you can walk in and look at in a day, limiting your upside potential.

It seems that you are paid for how many lives you affect (and to a lesser degree - by how much you affect them), rather than how much work you do.

An early video I saw explained that with more customers they can have more base stations and more satellites. I’d imagine it’s a balancing act whilst they are growing.

Surely, coverage is top priority initially, then performance can be improved as the growth slows.

> antitrust law has more or less ceased to exist.

I’ve always wondered if this is because of globalisation. If you want your country’s companies to dominate the world market, then a strong home base would help.

Or rich guy with a heated pool.

I know the Azure Application Gateway is meant to be getting ipv6 support later this year, it is certainly the reason why my services are ipv4 currently.

I’d expect GitHub to have moved to Azure since the buyout.

The IPv6 adoption seems more tied to Azure/AWS/GCP support than anything else.

OpenAI has not been breached, the credentials were stolen from users infected PCs.

You’re jumping to conclusions. OpenAI would be doing these users a favour by resetting their passwords, but their computers could still be infected.

Faster speeds might not seem necessary, however you have to remember you are sharing the bandwidth. The quicker you can get your data the less time you spend using bandwidth.

If I can halve the download time that allows another user to use the bandwidth sooner.

I’d be more interested in the cost per mile for the end user.

I was under the impression you had a driver take you through the existing tunnel, all those wages can’t be cost effective for users.

> The numbers for women and men in each category should more or less match

Not quite, the survey focuses on 18-29 age group. It’s not covered in the article but women have a preference for slightly older men.

The women answering in the 27+ age could have corresponding men outside the sample group of men.

Whilst I am good at what I do, I don’t enjoy it.

I want to retire early in my 50s, travel and find where I’m supposed to be in this world. I want to be open to whatever bumps into me.

I give it 5 years of searching and if I don’t find anything, my other half wants us to open a donkey sanctuary.

Why would Scottish independence be a bad idea?

The big opportunity for them would be that they could join the EU. That seems like a massive win. The have lots of potential to generate energy.

Pre-Brexit I would have agreed with you, but clearly being ruled from London isn’t helping anyone but London.

The Northern levelling up is also looking like a joke at this point. Perhaps Manchester, Newcastle and York need to start thinking of independence!

> developing a genuine human bond is somewhat of a mystery

I think shared experiences are key to creating a common bond. If you talk with old school friends, most people will end up talking about past events, this is a re-enforcing mechanism.

I think also that there is an intensity to the shared experience that matters as well. Sitting across the desk from someone for 10 years might build a bond, but it might also not last long outside of that workplace. Whereas people doing something physical and emotional together creates a stronger bond.

Personally, as someone with older kids, I'm now trying new physical activities and meeting new people. I can see I am making new friends, I've created conversations and interactions which go beyond just the original weekly activity.

I look at these robots and see the business case that they could be used to take care of the elderly. They could literally do the heavy lifting in care homes, leaving caregivers to do the more gentle tasks.

There’s a big market there that would only grow, given current demographics.

I don’t see the Tesla bot catching up with Boston Dynamics any time soon.

Except email for news is a waste of resources, it is a push which fills bandwidth and inboxes regardless of if the bytes are read.

RSS is pull, it only fetches the data if it’s needed.

And rarely do I see people using an inbox correctly, they’ll have 1000+ unread messages and have missed something important.

What isn’t factored in, is the money shifting.

People are no longer spending money on gas, it’ll be going to the electric companies. They’ll have more revenue for investment in capacity.

There are Cornish separatists, once one domino falls, others will follow. England also has a north south cultural divide.

Because of the other aspects which could be coded in. You can audit how much people get, you could fractionalise a bug bounty, you cut out the middleman (payment processor), you enable people in poorer countries access to becoming developers.

You’re using patreon who are taking a cut and there’s no guarantee they won’t disappear with people’s money and they rely on the donor not really caring if they get something of value for the money (you don’t have a real recourse other than to cancel).

We’ve recently been discussing a bug in the Qt toolkit, we couldn’t afford to pay for it to be fixed, but we could contribute with other small businesses to get it solved. A smart contract could automate that in a trust-less way.

The question is where do Mr Musks claims become similar to Ms Holmes?

He promised a lot and the team delivered part of it.

People are making investments based on him saying that he’ll have mass production of a personal robot in a few years. If that robot can’t water the plants in my house, then his recent demo was a lie.

I’m not wanting to pull him down, but Tesla is over valued and a potential house of cards. Having more realistic targets means it’s easier to beat expectations.

That argument can also be extended to trains. Problem is that the unions just wouldn’t allow it.

I’d love automation of public transportation, but nobody wants to try because of the social hurdles.

This is disingenuous.

AMD created Mantle, it was a good idea that they agreed to create it as an open standard and invited everyone in to participate in a unified standard. Halfway through Apple decided to do its own thing and created Metal.

Apple were clearly sabotaging a unified GPU platform by creating Metal.

Don’t keep saying Apple got there first because AMD did.

The bullet points were really insightful. Dr Peterson has been banging a drum about people rejecting religion and those traditional structures, but he's been saying "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater."

And this article is taking the good points of historical lessons and trying to make the argument that this is what feminism should be about.

I saw one of the analysts of the Depp vs Heard trial explain why perjury is hard.

It requires you to prove deliberate intent. The bar is a lot higher to prevent punishing mistakes.

Shadowbanning is the word you are not using for some reason.

Punishment without awareness is not going to change behaviour. You've created a system that doesn't address the root cause, so you're creating a game of whack-a-mole for yourself.

Few years ago I brought a "fancy" microwave oven because it didn't have a turn table. I figured the lack of moving parts would add to its longevity.

I didn't realise it was old technology being remarketed.

I'm GenX and have an outlook different from my younger peers. I work hard 60-80 hours a week to earn as much as I can. Programming is something I do well but I'm happiest outside in the woods or on water.

The difference is I have never taken more than a two week holiday or a break from work. Whereas younger generations seem to drop out of the workforce. This is something I can't fathom as I track my pension and investments on a weekly basis, I'm literally working to retire in relative luxury.

People tell me I may not make it and I should live more for the now, but I fear being old and still having to sit at a desk more. By 60 I want to have f#ck you money.

Not trying to detract from the current crisis, but it is interesting to think that China would be looking at these issues and changing a lot of aspects to their military over the next half decade or so.

You learn more from failure than you do from success.

In a past life when I would specify servers, the first requirement was ECC RAM.

Is that a thing with ARM or are these servers used for something where you don't care about data assurance (like gaming)?

To me it's a precursor.

The technology could be used to represent something real, like a home or a car. Get a government/court to agree to that and an nft is a proof of ownership which can be fractionalized or locked for leverage.

NFTs today are like the million dollar homepage. A bit of Internet history on the road to something useful.

Reflect.

My other half is a nurse, her training included assignments on self reflection. There's a lot of good books for learning to process emotions.

Taking the time to reflect and then write it down (or talk) will help. Start by writing what happened and how you felt. This process is the start of letting go.

Don't do it, the last thing you want is a raid card malfunction whilst you are on holiday. You'll be talking downtime of days not minutes.

You have to plan for worst case scenarios and how your team mobilise. These things are the "insurance" you are buying when you make the hardware someone else's problem.
