Exactly, this is an atribute that comes out of societies not inherant nature.

To soften this a little bit, and I mean a very little. The youth unemployment numbers are hard to judge, could be right but it is hard to tell on the outside. The fertility figures are a long term issue, China is not alone in that but somet

This is the asymmetric nature of people. The needs/wants of today out rule those of tomorrow even if it means making tomorrow worse. It is not set in stone but it is very prevalent in our societies nowadays.

China has been tipped to fail any time now for the last 25 years. They have long term issues but they will play out over long term results. A whimper rather than a boom!

Their problems always seem to look worse than it should be but functions better than expected.

I will offer somewhat opposite. My father had 4 kids and at my age looks roughly the same. That is look like we where/are in our late 20's at age 40. Genetics goes a long way.

Right on. Just because a company provides a lot of apparent value doesn't mean they should be exempt from these kinds of regulations.

Bingo! Now that they are a key part of the industrial complex, good money can be thrown at bad and it will all still work out. Not saying that is what they are doing but they are now in a key position that big mistakes are not necessarily f

1 to 2 orders of magnitude? ... Falcon Heavy launches nowadays run at approximately $40-70 million each. So you are implying that others cost minimum $400 to $4 billion per launch! I mean that is still 1/100th the Saturn V but SpaceX h

Like we have. Moved a lot from radio over to the internet. Highly focused communication.

That is very fair. It felt like Gil had some good ideas, had a reasonably good feel for what needed to be done, just didn't have the intuition to execute it well. Jobs did. In a way Gil probably would have done very well working under

While I was very skeptical of the base claims of LK99 (extrodinary evidence required), I did sort of fall a little bit for the hype of what this kind of material could be used for. Mostly in terms of computer clock rates and used in batteri

One amission that I always see from this period of Apple is the impact of Gil Amelio's decisions and how much gets attributed to Jobs. This is not to undermine Jobs, he was absolutely the right person in the right place and figured out

It is an idea that many floated as soon as Greta turned up in the news. They didn't like the message, so they decided to attack her rather than the ideas. Use some media based pareidolia and they had a conspiracy to make the world seem

Exactly. At most, make a note of it, tackle it the next day. Work to live, don't live to work and all of that.

I saw that on youtube once I saw something that is this idea flipped on its head. It was two folks, one of them was trying to talk to the other about politics, the other just shoots him down straight away. Said something like "I was se

Someone once said to me, it is easy to be enlightened when you have a full belly. In the same vein, it is easy to grant social gains when in easy times. But we are in the liminal space between the boom of the 20th century and the blow back

Kind of not surprised that True Crime NY is like that. It felt like a title that was a little strapped together and yet could push the hardware in unique ways at the same time.

Thank you for the clear explanation! I love it!

I think that is the crux of it. New features are either not that big of a leap any more or are to nebulous to be a big attraction. Things like iPhone 14 satellite SOS calls. Neat tech but the audience for that is not huge.

Pretty much. My phone is an Oppo... something. If I benchmark it, it is considered very slow but in general use I never hit the ceiling. A part of all this more starts to look the same as people debating over super cars they will never own.

First thing that comes to mind is like twisted pairing on cables. Distributes the external/internal forces more equally. Is it anything like this?

I will always appreciate the old jokes like this. Never apologies for them no matter how cheesy! My favorite from the 90's was, what does a computer and an air conditioner have in common? Both stop working when you open windows.

"I’ve read source code to games since then, and I’ve seen all sorts of weird stuff… I’ve seen functions with nesting levels that go past the right side of the screen, I’ve seen functions a mile long that do a million things, you know.

About time! I mean I am happy enough with Firefox on android even with it quirks, and the main add-ons I use are already supported but this will fill in the last few gaps. Very welcome!

This was the thinking I was taking. It is a useful tool at first but taken too far can be a bad thing in some situations.

Here is Melbourne, Australia our train system used to run on I believe a PDP based system established in 1982 until the mid 2000's when they started a transition to an all new system simply because the hardware was getting too old to m

Anything would be better than the Big Ben's pies they sell there! To all the Kiwi's fight me! Don't worry, here in Oz we have 4'n'twenty pies, pure manufactured war crimes worse then Big bens! ;)
