We had a maxed out one of those in the company lab. I seem to remember that it was on the loud side. What a tremendous waste of money.

You know, that's a good point. It would be great if people simply finished things and called them good sometimes. Hopefully they don't find a way to stick hand-written ads on the side for the free version.

I really like the looks of that, but the dates on the blog! Is it dead, Jim?

Heck, life generally is filled with that kind of inertia. It's not easy to change banks or brokerage houses. Does it make sense that someone with $1M at Vanguard gets a bunch of special perks and lower fees? Not fair!!!

lol. I guess that I'm a righteous idiot then (ie. someone who might not agree with you). Mostly, the point is that people choose their battles based on bias or their own needs, not some sort of overall logic. I can understand the argu

"Lets fix all abusers, not just ISPs. That should satisfy your argument, no?" Yes. Of course, people want to build an internet that suits them personally, so there are a million answers.

Exactly. The vast majority of media websites that make their money by delivering other peoples' content have an interesting problem. They skirt the line between curating and merely providing a form of storage for everyone. The minute

It seems to me that I have more choice between ISPs than in auction sites, as an example. The tendency towards monopoly in networks makes all these cases similar I think.

I'm still trying to grok why ISPs are supposed to treat all customers equally while PayPal, eBay, youtube, GoDaddy, Twitter, etc. are allowed to pick and choose. I'd be more comfortable with the arguments if people were consistent

So how could you tell an AI-generated Rothko from the real thing? If you can't tell the difference, is there a difference?...a kind of Turing test applied to art. Personally, I think that a helluva lot of modern art has a high BS leve

That's an interesting point. It's rather like the leapfrog to cellphones without intermediate steps. No matter what tech is used, it'll be obsolete at some point.

I can't say that an economic model built on continuous population growth makes any sense. The piper will get paid at some point. Even the current notion of driving down the average age via mass immigration will only last so long. In

Sssshhh. You'll ruin the narrative. It seems to me that the easiest way for a Germany to cut on energy needs is simply by having less people live there. I expect they would have been at negative population growth without shipping in

Then it shouldn't be a problem at all. The power companies will simply veer towards solar if it's cheaper.

It seems simple enough to me. Over time, these hardware companies grow or die. Their products have to get cheaper, hopefully due to economy of scale. Company management never wants to kill the old products with new ones, plus it's pr

COMPASS. Odd things like 60 bit words and 6 bit characters. I remember that. "Still in all, every night we does the tell, so that we 'member who we was and where we came from..."

It also seems to me that people are quick to conflate censorship by Facebook with censorship by a state. It would be a cleaner argument if Facebook merely viewed itself as a platform and a government found the need to restrict it within the

Absolutely. In the worlds I work in, FPGA has been standard practice for years and years. As of late, it's becoming more common to place the CPU there for cost reduction. In addition, you get the opportunity to both update the part an

I'm confused. I thought that Facebook was doing the censoring.

I watched it with subtitles and I'm mystified why it would be offensive enough to censor. Anyone with the opposite POV, that mass immigration from the Third World is desirable for the First World, could make their own video (and do, n

I'm surprised that I haven't run into someone using Git for EDL's.

Another corporate angle is the extent that MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) is at work. Large companies in older industries will have a large portfolio and if they get hassled by a competitor, the competitor can strike back. As a practic

I think a patent is only worth something to the extent that it is enforceable.

I'm waiting for the full 3270 PC or the XT/370 kit.

also, I would imagine that there would be a strong bias towards reuse...which leads you to long term standardization of not just language but also CPU architecture.

That is too bad. There was more to it than Redwood City. Working in the broadcast equipment world, you run into old school people from that company. Here's one I used to know. https://archive.org/details/Hollywoo

It certainly doesn't help that more people type for a living, look at moving pixels on a screen for fun, sit in a car for an hour a day. The US diet seems natural to me. I think it's the result of 100 years of evolution in food d

I just wanted to pop in and say that I agree 100%. Good post.
