One of my favorite Hitchhiker quotes.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Modern PCs can trace their lineage all the way back to the IBM PC Compatibles. Multiple vendors across the industry consolidated on a set of standards (because IBM basically had a monopoly at one point), and consumers came to expect that these standards would be followed.
When smartphones came on the scene, there was no expectation for them to follow desktop standards. It was the Wild West, and every manufacturer ended up doing things at least a little differently—much like the early PC market, actually. The customer base was the general public, not the hobbyists and tinkerers who bought into the early PC market, and there was no regulatory pressure to adopt open standards. In addition, I don’t think people anticipated the extent to which they would become the dominant form of computing for much of the globe.

Probably because it’s likely made of the obscenity that is American buttercream.

Aren’t the x-axis labels wrong? If I’m interpreting this correctly, the x and y axes labels should be the same. That might be partly why people are getting confused.

Yeah, I don’t think most biologists talk much about “bloodlines.”

Glad to see someone had the same initial reaction to that headline.

I mean, that is pretty arbitrary. The reason the divisor is that specific constant is because we already had meters before we knew the speed of light.

I’m going to assume this is Meta’s usual level of negligent greed, and there’s a decent chance that no human was involved. YouTube actually did something very similar.

This is something I think a lot of people don’t realize; It’s a cascading failure. It’s not just that some competent people will leave the country. The rest of their teams will have to bear the extra burden and be demoralized. They will then feel compelled to leave as well.
It’s happened numerous times in both the public and private sectors. Now they’re deliberately trying to do this shit on a national scale. If we ever recover from this, it’s going to take decades…
