- I'm jojoing on this for at least 15 years at this point. I really appreciate the physical experience of real books, the smell, the weight, just as you describe it. At the same time I really despise the storage space they take up, collecting dust, never to be touched again. So I go full digital for a while and read books on my Scribe. I get decision paralysis really quickly because of all the content available at a finger press, but the note taking and accessibility of it all are really nice. But after a while I grow tired of this and buy some hardcover books again and really enjoy that.
This cycle has been repeating for me for a long time, I wonder if I'll find a good balance eventually. My current approach is to try and read more technical stuff digital while keeping novels, the humanities, history as paperback, we'll see.
- There's maintenance management fees to be earned!
I don't know about how this stuff works, but as a matter of fact there's management bonuses for new development for DB execs, whereas nothing is gained from plain bleak maintenance. So guess why many major train stations in Germany have been undergoing major, multi-billion relocations and redesigns (often with worse throughput metrics).
- Considering the look of the train to the vast majority of people outside of it, I'm fine with not seeing anything - I'm staring at my book anyway for the most part, and there's another window on the other side. And I prefer it a lot over those ads that anyway otherwise contaminate the window with some random, probably sexist, racist, or otherwise shite nonsense.
- I took a brief look at their online article about the British empire. While it does briefly mention Jamaica requiring "conquest" in the origins section, it seems mostly oblivious to the consequences of the empire's "commercial ambitions" for the local populations. Not sure that would form a great "factual" source of truth to train an AI on.
- Well, I think after taking the VC money that was lying on the table they focused on the wrong thing, trying to become a unicorn, where many companies have emerged building devtools around docker containers that have at least made solid exits, and this is something that docker could have provided itself instead of chasing whatever
- I think it's pretty clear that docker as the software extracted from the initial paas is by any means wildly successful to this day.
I think docker the company not succeeding as a unicorn has more to do with trying to position it as a unicorn than a viable business built upon something in that original offering
- As things stand, it seems the anon insider report from 3 weeks back was legitimate and accurate, and holds answers to your question: https://leehamnews.com/2024/01/15/unplanned-removal-installa...
- Also, maybe to add to that, the Dreamliner was a new design, of which apparently even considering some setbacks along the way Boeing was still capable of at that point in time.
For the 737 Max, they were very late and had to react to Airbus much better neo offering, and didn't have the time and/or money and/or capabilities to develop a new airplane, so a lot of in the end deadly compromises had to be made to somehow bypass training and security certification as much as possible using the old airframe at low cost.
